Alice and Cora Wemyss purchased this lot in 1902 and the dwelling was constructed by 1905. The house was likely a rental initially and had several occupants over the following two decades. The first occupant was Paul Plaschke, a well-known cartoonist. Alice and Cora Wemyss began to live there in the late twenties. Cora was an artist. Alice died in April 1939 followed by Cora in January 1941. Maggie Stoy then purchased the property. The photo below shows the house in 1974, before the addition of artificial siding.
