ABOUT THE 1886 ADOLPH AND ANTOINETTE FLAKE HOUSE | Merchant and real estate agent Adolph Flake contracted to build this two-story, two-bay-wide Italianate house after the 1885 fire destroyed his previous residence on the lot. The frame building with hipped roof and set-back wing features ornamental brackets, dentilled bay and an elegantly carved bracketed entrance. After Flake’s death in 1892, his family maintained ownership for the next 100 years. His widow, Antoinette and son Herbert resided in the house during the 1900 Storm, along with two boarders, brothers James and Wade Taylor, who worked for Mistrot Bros. & Co. wholesale dry goods firm.
