gable front square vernacular frame duplex plan.

8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
Original Owner/Builder: M. Clem and Millie Mathews lived here 1896-99. He was county attorney as of
1896, and a district judge four years later.
Building History: Assessor treats as separate properties 1971, each unit a triplex.
Skemp Brothers built a large double two-story frame house on 13th west of Bluff in 1870 for $4,000.
This is the only surviving Arlington Street example that fits this description but the date is too early
(Herald, December 18, 1870). As of 1878 the brothers resided at 129-31 Arlington which translates to
this address.
Charles W. Skemp built a frame house and barn for $1,300 in 1883 (Herald, December 20, 1883). He
then lived at 131 Arlington. M. C. Mathews owned the parcel when it was sewered in 1897, the tap was
made c.1906
