Dudley Street in Maumee, Ohio, built in 1912 by local contractor Joseph Pauken.","why_significant":"The nomination calls the two houses the finest expressions of this type of bungalow style in the Maumee/Toledo area. Placed side by side, they offer an alternative to the Greek Revival and Victorian buildings common in Maumee. They are also tied to early occupants from a prominent banking family and a long-time tavern owner.","narrative":"Two matching bungalows stand side by side at 202 and 204 East Dudley Street in Maumee, Ohio. Both were built in 1912 by local contractor Joseph Pauken and were supposedly sold as construction kits for \"California Bungalow\" houses. Each is a 1½-story gray stucco building with a low-pitched roof extending over the front porch, which rests on four stubby round wood columns. Exposed box rafters mark the gabled peaks, and matching one-story bay windows project from the side facades. Inside, canvas walls were painted with murals by a local artist named Wechtel, and some survive. The houses appear to have been built for two friends and their brides. The first owner of 202 was Mr. Eckenrode, from a prominent Maumee banking and business family, and 204 first belonged to Lou Breisach, a long-time Maumee tavern owner. Because the pair offers a distinct alternative to the Greek Revival and Victorian architecture typical of Maumee, they were judged locally significant for architecture.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1912)","architect_builder":"Joseph Pauken (builder)","architectural_style":"Bungalow (\"California Bungalow\")","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as well maintained; occupied private residences with a newer small rear addition at 202 E.
