Bickelhaupt resided in this house with their children: Arthur and Mabel. Frederick was a superintendent for the Studebaker Corporation. (See 610 Park – the same design.) 714 Forest Cross Plan Although records date this house to 1884, it was most likely built between 1890 and 1891 for Nellie Boyd Coulter and Samuel Coulter. Samuel was a manager at the Central Union Telephone and Standard Electric companies.

He lived here with his wife, Jennie, and their four children: Millie, Pauline, Wade and Helen, along with a twenty-year-old Swedish boarder, Ellen [Haquist]. 720 Forest American Foursquare Built circa 1906, this house was vacant for a few years before Joseph Kroeger purchased it by 1908.

The boys were from his second marriage to Minnie Kroeger. 721 Forest Gabled-T Charles and Anne Collins purchased this property from Edward Chapin in 1889 and built the house by 1891.
