Chapin Park Local Historic District Guidebook Page 19 834 Forest Clipped Gable Front This house was built in 1899 for Washington P. Harman, a book- keeper for Singer, and his wife, Anna. Their daughter, Effie, was a music teacher who also lived here. Beginning in 1908, the property was rented to a few families including the Kerr family. James P. Kerr was an engineer from Scotland. 836 Forest American Foursquare The construction date of this house has not been identified. Records date it to 1895; however, the current footprint does not match the building footprint drawn on the 1899 fire insurance maps. An approximate date is 1905. Lot 50, was owned by Edwin and Katherine Moore from 1890 until the 1940s. Edwin was a cut- ter at the Wilson Brothers shirt factory and later was a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. Katherine emigrated from Bavaria. 837-839 Forest American Foursquare Records date this house to 1902, but this could not be confirmed. A house with a different footprint had previously stood on the prop- erty. By 1912, Clyde and L. Pearl Lancaster had purchased the house and lived here with their son, James. Clyde worked for the Postal Service as a clerk. 843 Forest Queen Anne Records date this property to 1898. It was possibly built by George Uhler for his wife, Jennie, and their extensive family: three sons, three daughters, a niece and a nephew. George was a stenographer for Oliver who also dabbled in real estate development. By 1904, John and Mary Hartzer had purchased the house. 844 Forest Gabled-T William (Willie) Sherburne built this house in 1892 as an investment property. He worked for Dr. Calvert, a local dentist. Several fami- lies and individuals have resided in the residence including: Christian Kielborn (1899-1901), Elwood Sayre (1903-1904), Carlin Handley (1906) and Dr. Richard Carson (1908). 846 Forest Free Classic Queen Anne Frank Yarsdorfer purchased this lot from Edward Chapin in 1901. The house was built between 1901 and 1903 as Yarsdorfer is listed as a resident in 1903. Yarsdorfer worked for Home Mutual Life Insurance as an adjuster; he never married. Catherine and Elizabeth Yarsdorfer, his unmarried sisters, also resided in the home.
