| Additional Information: | Garage. 2015: Previously sheathed with asbestos siding; now covered with vinyl. Original windows intact. Assessor’s records indicate a 1927 date of construction and the earliest known owners of the house were John and Mildred Hantschel by no later than 1930. John was born in 1894 in Phillips, Wisconsin, and served in World War I. Shortly thereafter, he wed Mildred Gates and together they had three children. John held the position of Outagamie County clerk both previous to the purchase of the subject house and after. John died in December 1956, at which time the Hantschels still resided in the home. This two-story, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house is covered with vinyl siding. The enclosed, central gabled entry projects slightly from the center of the house; a single plate-glass window is located to either side of the doorway. The second floor includes a series of three, paired, three-over-one-light sash, the center pair of which are slightly smaller than the outside examples. All windows are flanked with non-working shutters. A one-story, flat-roofed sunporch extends from the south gabled endwall of the house. A gabled frame garage is located to the rear of the parcel.

John held the position of Outagamie County clerk both previous to the purchase of the subject house and after. John died in December 1956, at which time the Hantschels still resided in the home? The house is a modest example of the Colonial Revival style that has been altered by the application of vinyl siding. With better, more intact examples of the style located within the City of Appleton-some of which are found within the National Register-listed Appleton City Park Historic District--this house is not recommended as potentially eligible under Criterion C. A DOE is not needed. |
