This frame story and a half house was built for Mr. Schade and his family. The back piece was added some years later and Jim Mc Lachlan lived there for a while. Lila and William Boettger bought the house about 1943 for $2000 from J.W. Troyer who held the mortgage. In 1968, Boettgers sold to Jean and Ed Ross. Gerald and Liz Desjardin owned it for a time and in 1987 Emmanuel DaSilva bought it. He renovated it and put an apartment upstairs.

McLachlan; Stan Raaflaub 1935-40; George Hobson; Audrey and Don Hollard rented part of the house from Boettgers in 1944.
