402 W . Koch
1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
A fine example of the Bungalow style , this well preserved
house retains a diversity of surface textures such as
clapboard of varying reveal widths , wood shingles , fascia
trim , molded concrete , and brick .
The original owner was R. A . Putzier , probably a builder
or real estate broker but never a resident here .
In 1927 , J . P . Johnsen , co-proprietor of the Johnsen-
French Motor Co . at 401 E . Main , was the resident here .
Very similar to this house is 416 W . Koch .
