This unusual brick shotgun house was built sometime after 1886 by the Biel family. The structure was used as rental property until 1905, when Edward and Mary Biel purchased it from William Biel. Edward was a painter, and died in 1928. Mrs. Biel remained in the house until December 1943, ending more than 55 years of ownership by the Biel family.
