This house was constructed in about 1900 for George Nissly. In 1903, George R. Lutz and his wife Gertrude purchased the house from Nissly's estate for $2000. Lutz, a Village clerk and bank employee, died in 1904 at the age of 30.[2] Gertrude Lutz remained living in the house until her own death in the 1940s.[3]
