Additional Comments
Edward Schrage was a prominent house builder. Specializing in concrete block houses, he was responsible for the first of these built in Menasha (Ralph Kirby House, 200 Prospect St.). That residence and his own (805 Racine St.) are the only two houses of this type still standing in Menasha. Schrage also silmutaneously ran a coal and fuel yard on Racine Street, and later worked for International Wire Works. His house on Walnut Street was constructed some time before 1895.

This was apparently Edward Schrage's house before building his concrete block residence at 805 Racine Street.

The Edward Schhrage house is located on the east side of Doty Island. Situated in residential neighborhood, the Schrage House is two-story rectangular Queen Anne residence featuring a large bay. The multi-gabled roof material is asphalt, the siding is asbestos, and the foundations are random stone. The wood shingled gable ends feature ornamented verge boards. Windows are double-hung sash with the small upper pane surrounded by colored lights. A porch featuring turned spindles and lattciework encompasses the facade on the ground story.

2009--Since last surveyed in 1984, the entire porch has been replaced.
