Additional Information: | Oriel window and oculus in gable end; shingled upper story; full length porch with dentil trim; Doric columns and balustrades; window cornices. This was the home of William Koepsal, a motorman for the Interurban Line, and his wife Hilda, between c. 1913 and c. 1936. Initial research indicates that none of the occupants of this house are historically significant either individually, or as a group within the proposed historic district. This building does not meet the criteria of the NRHP for architectural significance because of a lack of integrity. However, this building has sufficient architectural character to contribute to the proposed historic district. |
