"Volney French was one of the early settlers in Kenosha and was one of only three attorneys in the city before 1841. He served also as a county judge. Later in the nineteenth century, the house was the long time home of livery owner, Theodore I. Meyers, and his wife and widow, Anna. The house was recently converted to office use..."
