In “Tour stop 6 — history”
The self-guided tour assigns a construction date of 1900 to the house at 610 West Grant Street. Its illustration shows a two-story exterior with a full-width front porch. The entry does not identify a builder, first household or later alterations. Notes: The date is attributed to the tour; no independently verified construction document has been located. Still to establish: Who built or commissioned the house? Does an early photograph or assessment record establish the original porch and exterior appearance?
In “Tour stop 1”
The self-guided tour dates this house to 1920 and illustrates the stop with an older photograph and a later view. Its short entry does not name a builder or explain subsequent alterations. Notes: The construction date comes from the tour; an original building or assessment record has not yet been verified. Still to establish: Who commissioned or built the house? Can an original print identify the date and people in the older photograph?
In “Tour stop 20 — history”
The self-guided tour attributes the house at 207 North Spring Street to Alfred Stroh and dates it to 1910. It says he used blocks made at the Stroh and Son masonry business across the street to the east. The guide itself calls the material blocks, without specifying its composition. Notes: The 1910 house date and its specific connection to the works come from the tour. The map identifies a factory, not its owner. The separate Alfred Stroh business listing must not be treated as an ownership label printed on the map. Still to establish: Can a construction notice or deed confirm the 1910 house date? Can a business advertisement or property record connect Alfred Stroh with the exact factory parcel shown in 1916? What records establish the partnership’s members and operating dates?
In “Tour stop 10 — history”
The self-guided tour identifies 101 South Park Street as a house built in 1920 by Dr. Clinton Heine. It says that one first-floor room served as his office. The guide does not give the dates of that office’s operation or identify its position within the house. Notes: The home-office location and 1920 house date are attributed to the tour; the county biography does not identify this street address. The original 1921 scan says six months, not six years, at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Dr. Clinton Heine, his physician brother W. Howard Heine, and banker J. Howard Heine are different people. Still to establish: What construction notice or property record confirms the 1920 date? When did the first-floor office operate, and were other offices used concurrently?
