722-724 Harrison St., Schwier Cottage

Description:	On slide mount: 722-724 Harrison St., Fletcher Place Yes Schwier Cottage722-724 Harrison Streetc. 1870-1875Neither title research nor biographical research have revealed a resident owner or construction date on this house. This is puzzling, as brick homes are somewhat uncommon in the area and were generally contractor-built. The unusual detailing and siting of the residence also contributes to its curiosity. The stone trim over the lintels of the doors and windows, which is stone faced with margins, is most unusual. Small brackets at the end of the flank gable roof barely hint at the Italianate style. The building is sited directly at the sidewalk which is inconsistent with the fairly uniform setback prevailing in the district. The house was probably built about 1870-1875. About that time the property was acquired by Christian H. and Christiana Schwier, but they were not residents of the house. The house has had a long rental history. Tenants have included a barber, a machinist, a tireworker and several widows. single-family dwelling
