| Additional Information: | Claimed to be the oldest house in Appleton. Moved to this location in 1935 from 720 E. John St. Garage also. From "Appleton's Historic Old Third Ward Walking Tour" pamphlet, revised 2014 (www.focol.org/oldthirdward): "A rare example of a pioneer Wisconsin Vernacular Cottage... To save it from destruction, Karl Schuetter and his wife Pearl (sister of Lester Balliet who lived here for many years) relocated the house in 1935. Their son's family was the first to occupy the home at its new location." |
