| Additional Information: | This Foursquare residence rises from a poured concrete foundation and the walls are faced with brick. A hipped-roof, enclosed porch extends across the main facade and windows consist of mostly six-over-one-light sash examples. This house was erected in 1926 by Oscar Bluemke. Bluemke, who was previously associated with his father and three brothers in the hardware business, left the family corporation in 1932. He then independently purchased the garage that was associated with the family business. |
