| Additional Information: | From "Appleton's Historic Old Third Ward Walking Tour" pamphlet, revised 2014 (www.focol.org/oldthirdward): "This home demonstrates changing architectural attitudes at the turn of the century. Notice the bracketed eaves and "eyebrow" window from the Queen Anne period combined with a hipped roof and dormer from American Foursquare. Before coming to Appleton, Attorney Francis Rooney served as Seymour's City Attorney, gaining fame by prosecuting Paul Krause for the murder of his ex-wife. Neighbors recall Rooney retained a carpenter to repair his garage, often damaged when he drove his Pierce Arrow through the back wall." Garage. |
