Chapin Park Local Historic District Guidebook <br />Page 51 <br />831 Park Avenue Clipped Gabled-Ell/Folk Victorian <br />In 1883, Mary Deal purchased lot 67, Chapin Place from Edward <br />Chapin. The house was constructed by 1886. She and her husband, <br />Orange Deal, raised one daughter, Iva. Orange worked for a car- <br />riage works factory in the carriage body fabrication area. The <br />house remained in the Deal/Badet family until 1943 when Mary <br />DuShane and Ann DuShane Nuner purchased the home for invest- <br />ment purposes and converted it into three apartments. <br />834 Park Avenue Side Gable <br />This small cottage was built prior to 1899, but ownership could not <br />be determined. Dr. Henry Mitchell and his wife, Lily, rented this <br />house from 1899 until 1904 after residing in a few other houses in <br />Chapin Park. They were from Canada and raised one son, <br />Woodburn. The house continued as an investment property for <br />several years. <br />835 Park Avenue Tudor Revival <br />Edna and Henry Badet purchased this property in 1915 and had <br />this home built by 1919. They most likely removed an earlier <br />home built for Josiah Keltner, a farmer, and his wife, Elizabeth. <br />Henry Badet became the treasurer of the South Bend Toy <br />Manufacturing Company in 1914, which his father had founded. <br />The Badets raised two children, Barbara and Henry. Edna Badet <br />resided here until 1943. <br />838 Park Avenue Queen Anne <br />Alexander Dundee had this house built as an investment and <br />income property in 1904. By 1906, Harvey and Grace Ginz were <br />residing in the house and lived here with their son, John, until 1910. <br />By 1916, Daisy and Edward Reilly had purchased the house. <br />840 Park Avenue Free Classic Queen Anne <br />Estelle and Ira Gray purchased this lot from Anderson, DuShane <br />and Putnam in 1907 and had the house built by 1908. Ira Gray sold <br />the house quickly to Frank and Josephine Sherrit. Frank worked for <br />a varnish company as a salesman. They lived here with their son, <br />Franklin, and live-in servant, Bernice [Sencoe].
