NOTES
Additional Information:203 Pleasant Street Albert and Eva O'Melia House
This two-story, stone-veneered, gabled-ell, Tudor Revival house was either built in 1937, or is a
circa 1900 house that was substantially altered in 1937 (1929 Sanborn Map of Rhinelander;
Rhinelander telephone directories; City of Rhinelander tax rolls). The house has applied half-timbering on part of the second story; multipaned, double-hung sash windows; and a heavy,
paneled-wood front door in a segmental frame, surmounted by a stone lintel. The 1937
appearance was created for Albert and Eva O'Melia. O'Melia (?-1964) was a prominent local
attorney, and served as Oneida County District Attorney from 1913 until 1921. He lived in this
house until his death. The buildings at 17A and at 17-21 West Davenport Street (1935, which
see) were built for O'Melia. The O'Melias previously lived at 339 Dahl Street (which see). If
this building contains some part of the circa 1900 house, that house was built for Frank
Hildebrand, who lived here until selling the house to O'Melia (Rhinelander City Directories).
Hildebrand was a Rhinelander pioneer, who had a furniture and undertaking business.
