Special Significance; James Sullivan residence
Original Owner/Builder: James Sullivan built three new residences on the corner of 5th and Bluff for
$6,500 and let contracts in May 1896 (Herald, May 24, 1896). He was also credited with building a
$20,000 residence on the corner of 5th and Bluff in 1894 (Herald, January 1, 1895).
Building History: not on 1891 Sanborn Map.
A. A. Cooper placed the boilers for his new mansion's heating system in the basement of a new double
house set opposite his home. The central heating plant would heat that building, the mansion and Mrs.
Waher's house (Telegraph, October 12, 1894).
The John D. Sullivan estate owned this property when it was sewered (no date).
