There is an enclosed room with rooftop porch, off the eastern -most, short side. The Mueller's
purchased the home in the 1940's and at that time the home was outside the city limits and Caspers
Street was unpaved.
The Campbell family purchased the home in 2015 from the Mueller's, and is committed to maintaining
the historic appearance of the home.
Attached is the application form.
