Context
Sim Wilson, publisher of the Saline Observer, built the house between 1926 and 1928. It is the only Prairie style house in Saline. Other occupants: George Gloti; Kenneth Youngs; John Zeichman 1967; Daniel and Carla Defer (sold 1994). In 1988, the Saline Historic Society's First Annual Walking Tour included this house, and stated that a family named Laslo was living in the house at that time. Their name was not in the assessor's files. The Walking Tour map related that the home featured: cherry woodwork; cherry built-in storage cabinets; and ceramic tiles in the kitchen and sunroom.
