    Schiel-Patterson House 
    • The Schiel-Patterson House was built in 1898 on the corner of William St. W. and Charles St. (now Dunbar). This lot, which was part of the newly-opened Samuel G. Snyder survey on the west side of town, had been purchased by Jacob Oetzel in 1888. In 1898, Oetzel sold the land to his son-in-law, Martin Schiel who had married his daughter Matilda.
      Mr. Schiel promptly began plans for a new home. He drew up a home-made contract with local builder Charles Kreutziger. This unique document (still in the possession of the present owners) contains such clauses as "the house is to be like the Mitchell's in Berlin" and "the front window is to be similar to the one in Mrs. Martin's home".
      Martin Schiel, who worked for Kaufman Rubber, lived in the home until 1947 and his wife until 1950. In 1964 the present owners, Drs. Palmer and Nancy Lou Patterson purchased the house.
      The Schiel-Patterson home is an example of the Queen Anne style of architecture. It has the characteristic irregular and multi-sloped roof, the projecting two storey bays and the intricate, complex and delicate verandah. The windows vary in size and location. All these features give an asymmetrical appearance to the building.
      All the four facades, the verandah and the entire roof line are designated.1a
