Stephen Lake House 703 Ninth Baldwin City, Ks 66006

Title

Stephen Lake House
703 Ninth
Baldwin City, Ks 66006

Subject

Construction of this house in 1884 was indicated by an increase in assessed value from $30.00 to $280.00. Lake and Cooper were the owners. The lots were divided in 1888. Stephen Lake retained this property; George M. Cooper received the adjacent lot. In that year Lake's property was valued at $350.00. The increase may reflect a building addition which is suggested by the existing complex form. Lake, a grocer, was listed as residing with his wife Addie on Grove Street at the corner of Ninth Street in 1902.
