The Boat House on Cambridge

The Boat House on Cambridge

Edmund B. Gustdorf built his house to look like a boat.
It is on 3138 N. Cambridge (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)  and faces the Milwaukee River.
Modeled after a 1910 gasoline motor launch it is a 500-square-foot abode.
My Dad took this photo when the siding was still wood, not aluminum and the wavy wooden fence still surrounded the house.
The house was built around 1926-27 and my best guess is this photo was taken in the 1940s.
I love the boat in the yard too.
