NOTES
Additional Information:2002:

Tax records suggest that this property was part of a larger tract owned by William Jacobson, who was a carpenter. Give Jacobson's vocation and the fact that he owned a number of houses in Delafield, he may have built this house as an investment property. The building remained in the Jacobson family into the 1950s.
