FREDERICK W. DUMKE
511-513 North 4th
This duplex was built as the residence of Frederick W. Dumke of Dumke and Hund, manufacturers and bottlers of beer. Mr. Dumke lived at 511 N. 4th st. The configuratlon of the building's front with two lateral bays flanking a recessed central entry porch remains the same as it was on the 1888 Sanborn map. Although stucco sheathing is an apparent later addition, the structure retains a high degree of its architectural integrity and would contribute greatly to the establishment of an historical district in the Robidoux Hill area.
The structure is located on a high bank supported by a coursed, rock-faced stone retaining wall on the west side. A vacant lot lies south to the corner.
