NOTES
Additional Information:2001:

Werner and/or Raynard Huppert built this house in 1917. That year, Werner was working as a purchasing agent at the Federal Bridge and Structural Co., while Raynard was a foreman at an unknown location. Their tenure at the home was relatively brief, for by 1920, it was purchased by Charles W. and Frieda Frank. Frank worked as salesman for J.K. Randle & Son, a business which dealt in furniture, carpets and undertaking. The Franks remained in the home into the 1940s, and it was subsequently purchased by Kurtis Koehsiek.
