Bibliographic References: | Although assessor's information cites a 1920 date of construction, no one is confirmed to live in the house until 1922, at which time the Milwaukee city directory identifies the Courteens in the home. Believed to have been built by George Schley & Sons based on an entry in the Schroeder-Schley drawings index, dated October 1921, on file at the Wisconsin Architectural Archive, Milwaukee Public (Central) Library, Milwaukee. Would need to compare house to the drawings to fully confirm. |
