8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
This is an early and rather diminutive frame two-story house. It was not included in the proposed
Rhomberg and Kniest historic district. The house fronts south onto Lincoln Avenue and occupies a
rather small parcel that is bordered on the east by the Audubon public school parcel. This house is
pictured in the 1889 bird's eye view and predates any of the Kniest Street houses to the immediate
west.
As of 1891 the house address was 285 Division Street. By 1909 it was 533 East 21st Street. It was
numbered 509 East 21st Street and the street was renamed Lincoln only c.1960.
