We know who the people are, but everyone we show the picture to loves the house. I was wondering if anyone could identify the house. Where is it? Is
it still standing? Any history?  If you can help, contact:  Ken Sajdak.

Albert Nehmer is listed on the Day Creamery Ledger, Levis Twp., Clark Co., Wis.
