Lot 24
Burrough's Sub of BOL,115 2
Ivey Number: 3 -01 -18/18 -730
historical notes
Lot 24 of Burrough's Sub - division of Bank Out Lot 115 was sold from the
estate of Ricketson Burroughs to Frank Matthews on October 8, 1889 for
$325.00. Construction on the house must have been begun the following
summer as a mechanics lien filed against the property indicates the house
was finished in early October 1.890.
Very little information is available on Frank Matthews. The directory
for 1891 lists his occupation as a carpenter and as the J anitor for the
YMCA: Later, he became a partner in Matthews and Mills, a meat market
located on Main Street. The house and property were sold soon after
claims against them were paid off in 1891.
Placed in Class E (bungalows) by assessors in 1932, the house at 618
Leland; was given the lowest rating in the class. A type 5 bungalow
was,considered to offer nothing to inhabitants save shelter.
-;Before 1905, Leland south of Portage was known as .Burroughs
Street, and 618 Leland was 556 Burroughs..

RE: Proposed designation of property located at 618 N. Leland
Dear Mrs. Gammon:
The Staff of the Area Plan Commission has reviewed the Historic
Preservation Commission's proposed designation of the above property as an
historic landmark with respect to the relationship of said property to any
capital improvements proposed for nearby rights-of-way, easements or
properties.
We find no proposed improvements that will conflict with this structure;
and, therefore, we return a favorable recommendation to the Historic
Preservation Commission and the Common Council .
Si cerely,
