| Additional Information: | Henry Rediske, a carpenter, is shown on the 1918 building permit as the owner; however, directories indicate that he did not live at this address. Max and Anna Luedke occupied this house as early as 1922. Born in about 1890 in Wisconsin, Luedke worked initially as a driver and then became a janitor. The Luedke’s remained in the house until at least 1960 but a 1964 directory states it was owned by Roger Labinski. 2015- "This front-gabled, brick bungalow has an enclosed front porch topped with a low-pitched gabled roof. The porch consists of brick piers and modern window infill. The roof features clipped gables and a prominent wall dormer on the east facade. One-over-one, double-hung sashes are the building's primary fenestration.
