2011- "This brick-clad, one-and-one-half-story bungalow is sheathed with brick and topped with a multiple-gable roof. The open eave gables are supported by board purlins. The primary (west) fatyade displays on its north (left) side a gabled entry block with a wooden dootway on its south side and a tripartite grouping of three-over-one, double-hung sashes on the west side. The right (south) side of the main facade on the first floor is pierced by a picture window with six-light transom flanked by three-over-one, double-hung sashes. Heavy foliage limits views of side facades.
Directories list Franklin and Marie Buchner as the first occupants of this home, which was constructed in 1923. Bucher worked at the Waukesha Gas & Electric Company and sold the building to Nelson Jones by 1925. In 1927, Arthur T. Ryall, who was a clerk with the firm J.K. Randle & Son, lived at this address with his wife, Emma, between 1927 and 1936. In 1940, the propetty was inhabited by Edythe Newby, with Ryall returning by 1947. By this time, he was a funeral director at the Randall Funeral Home. Ryall lived in the house into the late 1950s and it was taken over by Norman Thoresen by 1961."
