This is the home Frank Loesch (1869-1961) built for his family in 1917. Frank was born in Germany. He made his living as a sign painter at a wagon shop in his younger years, and later became an automobile painter. He lived in the home with his wife Anna Margretha, aka Margaret, and raised children Walter and Cleoanne in the home. After Walter married, he brought his new bride to live with the family. The family enjoyed their home for almost 50 years.
