This large brick-and-stucco home was built in 1925 by Andrew Larson for A.A. Duenwald. It was located at 816 North Stadium Way and was listed for sale at the end of October, 1927. Mr. Duenwald owned Duenwald's Delicatessen & Bakery, 915-17 Broadway. Ads running on consecutive Sundays in the TDL described the six-room home as having an unobstructed marine view and such amenties as a sun room, hardwood floors, tile fireplace, maid's room, oil heat, thermostat, and French doors leading to a flower garden. The home was located on two lots, 50 x 130-feet. Price for sale was $15,000. The November 6th ad indicated that the owner was leaving the city.
