ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SIGNIFICANCE
This house is a unique design in the City of Green Bay, and as such, is considered significant as an example of a style of construction. The house has some stripped down, simplified elements of the Craftsman and Mission styles, but does not really adhere to any of the popular styles in 1909, the year it was constructed. The house was obviously designed by an architect, yet research has not identified the individual or the firm.
The house has retained a great deal of its exterior original material. It was originally a single family home which was converted to four apartments. The current owners are restoring it, over time, to its original condition as a single family home.
The large flat roofed porte-cochere was added in 1918, designed by Foeller and Schober.
