Regarding Bayly-Schroering House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Bayly-SchroeringHouse was built in 1880-81 for J.W.E. and Fannie Tyler Bayly. The lot was purchased in May 1880, by Mary L. Tyler, acting as trustee for her daughter, Fannie Bayly. The American Architect and Building News of September 25, 1880, noted that J.W.E. Bayly was to build a three-story, brick and stone dwelling on Fourth Street between Kentucky and St. Catherine Streets at a cost of $15,000. Bayly was first listed at this residence in the city directory of 1882. In 1885, Mary L. Tyler conveyed title to the house and lot to her daughter.

J.W.E. and Fannie Bayly lived in the house until her death in 1897. Bayly then sold the house to his wife's sister, Roberta Tyler, who lived there until she died in 1916. She left the house to her niece, Mary Charnbers Wooldridge, who owned it until 1940. In recent years, it was used as a rooming house.
Editor's note: Schroering was the last name of the house's owner when the National Register application was submitted.
