Additional Comments
Extensive remodeling was done about a January 1923 fire, including the addition of the attached garage and eat and west additions, and the elimination of the 3rd floor roof.

C. Robert Gether was secretary of the Acme Realty Company, which platted the Lawndale Subdivisions, comprising the proposed Lawndale Residential Historic District. He built his own residence in that district in 1892 and was instrumental in obtaining a service extension of the Milwaukee & Whitefish Bay Railroad to Day Avenue.
