Web link: [Web Link] History of Mark: "Built: circa 1892 Style/Design: Folk Victorian/Hip with Cross Gables According to the County’s tax parcels database, this house was built in 1892. The address does not appear in the 1891-92 city directory but may have been built shortly after the directory was published. The address is listed in the next available directory, which was published in 1906. At that time the occupants were Adolph and Carrie Bogel. Mr. Bogel was employed by the American Car & Foundry Company. "A public sidewalk spans the front of this 50’x140’ corner lot and an alley extends along the rear. A concrete sidewalk with stairway having three steps leads to the portico from the street. Large shrubs extend along the front of the house, and two trees shade the front yard. The rear yard is enclosed by a wood privacy fence, and at the rear of the lot is a 1-story, side-gabled, 1-car garage. The walls are finished with board-and-batten siding, and at the south end of the west façade is a paneled metal overhead door. Based on the Sanborn Insurance maps, the garage was built between 1917 and 1929. It is contributing." ~ St. Charles Historic Survey  Phase IV, PDF pages 126-129 Additional point: Not Listed
