| Additional Information: | l#650: Garage. Simple gabled two story home altered by asphalt siding. As of 2005, the asphalt siding that was identified as covering the house in 1985 has been removed and the original narrow clapboard sheathing is now exposed. However, wholesale window changes and a large rear porch are now apparent on the home. Assessor's records note an 1887 date of construction. The earliest known owner of this home was Max Richter in 1894. July 2005-According to assessor#25;s information, this house was built circa 1887. Although the original owner is unknown at this time, by 1894, the owner is noted as Max Richter, the son August M. Richter at 1235 S. 8th Street. Since this house was last surveyed in 1988, asphalt siding has been removed to expose the original clapboard sheathing. Despite that fact, the house has been significantly altered by the removal of the original front porch, the installation of new windows and the balcony addition at the rear. As a result, the home is no longer considered surveyable; however, an update photo has been prepared to exhibit the changes. |
