In 1912 Charles P. Schulze (1877 - 1957) contracted with builder A. Fred Joffre to construct this one-story cypress-clad bungalow as a residence for himself and his wife, Virginia Tucker (1886 - 1966). Schulze, who owned and operated the Irving Lumber Company, was the brother of Irving co-founder J. O. Schulze. Prominent features of the home include its low hipped roof, broad eaves, and gabled dormer. It remained in the Schulze family until 1975. RTHL - 1986
