1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
One of a few modest houses built by Dr . Bernard J . Heetderks ,
probably for rental or later sale , the significance of this house
has been greatly reduced by the altered fenestration and artificial
siding . It was probably originally identical to 616 S . 5th Ave . ,
and similar to 615 S . 5th Ave .
While no structures existed in the 600 or 700 block in 1935 ,
according to the city directory of that year , Henry J . Vidack , a
" laborer" , lived here in 1940 . Dr . Heetderks , and his wife
Kathrine B . (who signed the sewer and water permits ) , lived in
a more posh section of town at 426 W . Cleveland . ( see also 609
and 622 S . 5th . )
