| Additional Information: | A 'site file' titled "Lincoln Boulevard Historic District" exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. The house was constructed for Emil J. Schmidtman, president, treasurer, and manager of the Schmidtman Co. The company was founded in 1900 as Theo. Schmidtman’s Sons as booksellers and stationers. Management of the company passed through several generations of Schmidtmans, and by the 1950s the company was a paper wholesaler and producer of the “Car Ferry” brand of school supplies. Two other members of the Schmidtman family lived within the district as well: J.C. Schmidtman, one of the eponymous Theo. Schmidtman Sons (848 Lincoln Boulevard, AHI #58093); and Harvey Schmidtman (609 Waldo Boulevard, AHI #66285). |
