| Additional Information: | See Washington Park West District form. Construction date, 1910. (1, 2) Built at an approximate cost of $7500. Jacob K. Oberle operated a wholesale fruit business. In the early 1940s owned by Lillian Suhr and second floor utilized as a rooming house. In order to address an emergency housing shortage following World War II, the City of Milwaukee allowed the house's temporary conversion into a two-family flat in 1945 as long as the additional housing unit was rented to a veteran and the house was returned to a single-family home when the emergency order was revoked, which occurred in 1952. (That same year, a permit was issued to remove 'china closets' on the first floor for the installation of a sink). |
