| Additional Information: | This house portrays the well-known character of the English Tudor: random ashlar stonework, patterned brickwork set in half-timberwork, oriel windows, tracery in the windows, prominent chimneys, and an asymmetrical plan with irregular wings. It is two stories high with a slate roof. Built by one of Green Bay's well-known retail merchants, who owned Baum's Department Store, Cecil C. Baum, a WWI veteran, he was not only a staunch supporter of the Chamber of Commerce, but for many years a director of the Salvation Army. Otto Kaap once lived here. This home is typical of the Eclectic Revival of the English Tudor which was fashionably revived using prominent homes in England from 1485-1603 as sources. Astor has several other examples, two of which utilized the half-timber effect with brick, particularly the houses at 815 S. Monroe and 931 S. Madison. |
