W.W. Schneider designed this lovely American Foursquare/Free Classic home for Loretta and Wilbur Gorsuch. The symmetry of the American Foursquare is an unusual but complimentary find along the architecture of West Washington. Wilber Gorsuch was a Civil War veteran and served in the 73rd Indiana Infantry Regiment. When he returned to South Bend he continued his farming but also pursued commercial and business opportunities.
