935 South Ironwood <br />Historical Notes - continued from survey card <br />In 1911, River Park became a part of the City of Souti� Bend. <br />Sometime between the years 1912 and 1914, the Hustchison family removed from South <br />Bend These were very poor business years at the Oliver Plant because of the war <br />in Europe. William Hutchison might have been forced to seek work away from South <br />Bend as he is not listed in the directories The house became rental property from <br />1914 to 1918. On `the 14th of May 1918, William and Margaret A. Hutchinson sold <br />Lots 6 and 7, subject to the payment of the 1918 taxes, to Elmer I. Beistel(dentist), <br />Fred H. Schrop,a. credit manager moved into the house in 1920, but he did not pur- <br />chase the property from his brother -in -law, Elmer I. Beistle and wife, Sarah Schrop <br />Beistle until the 28th of August 1928, (1923 number changed to 935 22nd Street - <br />1928 the number was again changed to 935 South Ironwood. ) <br />The 1932 assessment record lists this house as 1 - 1/2 stories with a E (Bungalow) <br />type 4 (cheap constructuion) classification, built in 1902. Although additions have <br />been made to this house, built before 1898, the house still retains much of its <br />original architectural style. <br />Note: The house always has been considered two stories by the Schrops and the <br />Sherks. The 1 - 1/2 story bungalow classification was because there was no attic <br />over the original three upstairs bedrooms. <br />Source of Information: <br />Plat: Book 61 page 5 - O.P. ,River Park 7 April 1892 <br />Deed, Mortgages, Miscellaneous Records <br />1.
