This house initially served as the home of Gertrude and Cornelius H. Myers. On a folded paper inside a tobacco box (uncovered during a 1997 remodeling), Gertrude Myers wrote that the house was built in June 1881 by Builder John Platz. It was remodeled March 21, 1904 by South Bend Lumber Co. The current owners believe that this house evolved as the Myers family grew and that successive renovations and additions incorporated a range of architectural styles.
