| Additional Information: | From "Appleton's Historic Old Third Ward Walking Tour" pamphlet, revised 2014 (www.focol.org/oldthirdward): "The rear half of this house seems to date back to a home built by Prussian stone mason Anton Karls. In 1892 the front half was built as rental property by James P. Buck. Another owner, George Schmidt, partnered with father Matthias in his clothing store. Floorboards found in a 1901 addition were made from the crates used for shipping hats and suits to the store." Garage. |
