George C. Otto original owner (1919-1942/43) salesman/department manager M.F. Patterson Dental Supply Co. (permit, C.D.).

The George C. Otto house is a handsome, one and one half story, stucco-clad, Craftsman style bungalow. The main portion of the house is a side-gabled block with a small front dormer below which is a grouping of three windows. Projecting beyond this portion of the house is a large front-gabled porch with brick piers, knee brackets at the eaves, and wood shingling in the gable end. The small attic window in this gable end is glazed with an unusual, Craftsman style sash that is also used in the dormer and lower story windows. The porch is glazed with fixed or casement sash that have transoms.

Original owner George C. Otto was a clerk/department manager for the M. F. Patterson Dental Supply Company. He lived here until his death in the early 1940s, and his widow, Hilda, subsequently moved to 3414 N. 45th Street around 1944.
