History

This house was constructed in about 1900 for George Nissly. In 1903, George R. Lutz and his wife Gertrude purchased the house from Nissly's estate for $2000. Lutz, a Village clerk and bank employee, died in 1904 at the age of 30.[2] Gertrude Lutz remained living in the house until her own death in the 1940s.[3]

Description

The George R. Lutz House is a 2-1/2 story Queen Anne structure covered with clapboard. It has a hipped roof with front and side gable projections. The facade features a fine example of a wraparound Eastlake with a lattice work base, spool-and-spindle frieze and balusters, and decorative brackets. The house has a variety of window shapes, including small rectangular windows in the gable ends. [2]
