Here is an adorable circa 1927 cottage with some Tudor Revival influences. Love the arched front door, hardwood floors and fireplace! Shaggy carpeting on the bedroom and bathroom walls is a first for me, though.

Family History

Louis and Mabel Doellinger rented out this house when it was first built in 1927, but they later purchased the home.  Louis was a lineman for the WesternElectric  company before retiring. Louis was almost 20 years older than his wife, and they had no children. Despite the age difference, Louis lived 11 years longer than Mabel. He lived in the home until 1971 and passed away in a nursing home in 1972 at the age of 92.
