"The large brick building was built in 1904 at a cost of $6,000 for Otto Kautz, a cobbler, to be his shop and residence. Kautz's mother's home which previously stood here was moved to the rear of the lot. One of the oldest buildings yet standing on Williamson Street, it was built in 1852-1853 for Michael Welch."
