Inscription. This Queen Anne home was built in 1887 by Henry and Fred Schnedler, brothers and brick masons. Fred and his wife Lena lived in the home with their seven children.

The house's foundation is constructed of hand-cut limestone, and the interior and exterior walls were constructed three bricks thick.

In the 1950's and 60's, the house was split into three apartments, two downstairs and one upstairs.

This home is enjoyed by its current owners as a beautifully renovated single-family dwelling.
