Joseph and Emma Mulder owned the property from 1927 to 1939.  Mr. Mulder was an insurance salesman for the Mutual Life Insurance Company and actively participated in community clubs and organizations.  The Mulder’s sold it to Willett and Marguerite Lake who owned it for the following thirty years.

This house is an excellent example of the Arts and Crafts style. This house was also designed by local architect Richard Sundeleaf.  The asymmetrical plan with numerous projections, and the rustic shingles, multi-light windows, and the heavy timber supports are reminiscent of the form and detail of the medieval architecture.
