8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
Special Significance; Joseph and Elizabeth Chaloupka, he was a retired railroad engineer, are said to
have built the house in 1918 and lived here until 1972. Directories confirm this for 1918-21, obviously
house is older than 1918.
Original Owner/Builder: John V. Conzett appears to be at this address prior to Chaloupka?
Building History: this building and another to the east replaced a duplex that occupied the whole parcel.
Julien’s Journal (May 2000, p. 22) dates the house to 1921? Says it was duplexed in the 1980s
(Assessor says duplex as of 1971). Angela Ecks owned it as of 1998.
C. A. Berg owned the parcel when it was sewered c.1889.
th
First directory listing is John V. Conzett, dentist, at 40 14 in 1896, remaining through 1915.
