Bibliographic References: | The Daily Reporter, 6 April 1923, cites that a Wauwatosa residence for E.M. Gaines was designed by architects Leiser & Holst. Assessor's records cite the date of construction as 1923. Census and directory information confirms Gaines' association with/ownership of the home. Of note, house and garage plans were drawn in January 1921 by Schley & Sons for Mr. & Mrs. E.M. Gaines. Plans on file at the Wisconsin Architectural Archive (MPL). May want to review WAA plans to confirm that was a different house/design. |
