The Wolters Home

Designed by architect Albert E. Colcord of Chicago, William and Mary Vincent built this Craftsman style home for their daughter Margaret as a wedding gift for her marriage to Ray Wolters. When the home was completed, a newspaper reported it was "very attractive and adds to the beauty of Cedar Street." The Craftsman style, made popular by Gustav Stickley, was intended to be practical and aesthetic. It has been called the best example of Craftsman style in this neighborhood.
