Schrader House 426 North College Avenue 1862 This unusual two-story brick house was built in 1862 by Christian F. Schrader.

He later bought a horse and dray and engaged in a successful transport business for four years. In 1864 Schrader (also listed as Schraeder) started a retail and wholesale grocery business which grew to be a large and prosperous firm. Two of Schraders sons started a wholesale grocery business in 1883 and that firm later erected the C.A. Schrader Company Building at Georgia and Maryland Streets. Features include a three-bay front facade with segmented arch windows and a flat-headed entrance with cornice, transom and a single side light. The windows in the brick side walls also have segmented arches. The house has a substantial frame rear addition.
