2016- This property currently serves as a Bed and Breakfast. This house at 116 Tenth Street (aka known locally as the Christmas House) and allegedly built by Emily Baker, in 1894, was in fact an addition to an existing house which had the address of 939 Main Street, Racine, WI. After the addition,the house now faced East Park and 10th Street so, 939 Main, as an address, disappeared.
