Guidebook Chapin Park Local Historic District <br />Page 52 <br />841 Park Avenue Gabled-T <br />Alfred and Georgiana Berger purchased this property from <br />Edward Chapin in 1889 and had the house built by 1891. Berger <br />worked as a clerk for the Rose and Ellsworth Store from 1891 to at <br />least 1910. Arthur Butterworth resided here briefly before Oliver, <br />a traveling salesman, and Cary Kise purchased the home in 1914. <br />843 Park Avenue Shingle Style <br />Anna Gish Kimble had purchased the north half of lot 70, Chapin <br />Place from Edward Chapin by 1890. The house was probably built <br />by 1891 but certainly before 1899. The residence was vacant from <br />1899 until 1903. Harry Congdon resided at this address from 1904 <br />until 1908. The house was again vacant in 1910, but by 1912, Dr. <br />Davis and Sara Tucker had purchased the house and lived here <br />until 1919. <br />844 Park Avenue Free Classic Queen Anne <br />Rebecca Martin purchased this lot in 1906 and had the house con- <br />structed by 1908 as an investment. The first residents were <br />Blanchette and Albert Frederick, who purchased the property in <br />1908 and lived in the house until 1945. They raised two children: <br />Lee and Dorothy. Albert worked for Oliver Chilled Plow as a pur- <br />chasing agent. <br />845 Park Avenue Side Gable/Tudor Revival <br />Anna Gish Kimble also purchased this lot from Edward Chapin by <br />1890. This cottage-house was built prior to 1899, and may have been <br />remodeled in 1923. Samuel, a clerk at the Electric Company, and Anna <br />Bausman rented the house from 1899 until 1901. Charles Kachel pur- <br />chased it by 1908 and sold it to Theodore Moyer, a dentist, by 1912. <br />846 Park Avenue Free Classic Queen Anne <br />Ira Gray, a South Bend real estate developer, built this house in 1907 <br />as an investment. He sold the house within a year to John Borg, pas- <br />tor of the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church, and Clara Borg. In <br />1919, Rollo Page, an Aetna Life Insurance agent, and Mabelle Page <br />purchased the house and lived here with their daughters: Mary <br />Louise, Kathryn and Virginia.
