| The house was designed by Adolph Cudell and was completed in 1888. Cudell also designed Seipp's summer home at Black Point on Geneva Lake, which was built at the same time. Seipp died in 1890 but his widow, Catherine Orb Seipp continued to live in the house until her death in 1920. The mansion was torn down in 1933. See Image ID: 115160 for another view of the house. |
