Date Of Construction: 1902
Context: George Lutz and his bride, Gertrude, acquired the home from the estate of George Nissly shortly after their marriage in 1903. The purchase price of $2000 suggests that the home already existed. George Lutz served as village clerk for a number of years, and had become a bank employee. George Lutz died in 1904, at the age of 30, less than a year after moving into the house. Gertrude remained in the house until the 1940's. This house is the same as 101, however, 103 retains its original Queen Anne detailing. This house is listed on the National Register.
