Marie Schock House

Landmark Context

Marie Schock House is fixed in the city's landmark record at 5749 W Race Av. The current city data lists it as dating to a construction date of 1888 and credits Frederick Schock. It was designated on January 20, 1999. Marie Schock House turns into a workable research subject once domestic design, residential development, and block-by-block neighborhood change are kept in view together.

Marie Schock House becomes easier to read on site when attention turns to lot width, setbacks, porches, bays, and rooflines, the rhythm between neighboring houses, and alterations that show changing domestic use. That is often where the longer record of the place starts to come into focus: how one domestic building can still clarify the growth of an entire residential block.

Research Starting Points

Marie Schock House can be checked against real-estate atlases and fire insurance maps, permit files and census or directory material, and historic photographs and neighborhood histories when the designation summary runs out. That source trail can connect landmark status to ownership, alteration, and the changing role of the site in its block or corridor.

Marie Schock House still needs permits, photographs, and comparison, but the landmark record gives that work a stable point of return.
