| Additional Information: | Late Queen Anne shingle style hosue with added enclosed porch. Built for the daughter of J.A. Kimberly as a wedding present, this house was moved from its original location on E. Wisconsin Avenue. W.A. Stuart was an officer in Kimberly Clark and was general manager of the ill fated General Paper Co. and later the Neenah Paper Co. The house was previously surveyed in 1981 with a map code of 2/9. The map code for 2004 is 144/26a. Built in 1890, this house was a present from John A. Kimberly to his daughter Helen at the time of her marriage to William Z. Stuart on 25 December 1889. Stuart was an officer in the Kimberly-Clark Corporation; the general manager of the General Paper Company; and later, the treasurer of the Neenah Paper Company. William and Helen had one son, Kimberly, who was born in 1895. William died between 1920 and 1924 and Helen moved back to the family homestead (in the east half) at 406 E. Wisconsin Avenue. It is believed that at the time of her move, the Stuart's house, which was originally located at 583 E. Wisconsin Avenue, was moved to its current location of Elm Street. Although Helen was active in local circles prior to her husband's death, she became the chairman of the Wisconsin League of Women Voters. She also served as the State Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution and became the first woman to serve as an alderwoman in Neenah. Helen died in 1955. |
