  225 Taylor St. Kaukauna, Wisconsin See story on house; http://demolitionmama.blogspot.com/search/label/Wisconsin Text copied here for reference. Christmas Eve Special Feature Juergenmeyers on Taylor Street 225 Taylor Street Kaukauna, Wisconsin This two storey home with the basement and broad front porch was the home of Martin, Marie, and Hazel Juergenmeyer in the 1920's and early 1930's. Martin Juergenmeyer ran a small bus company between Kaukauna and Appleton. After their daughter Hazel was married in 1934, Martin and Marie Juergenmeyer rented out the house and moved to Seymour, Wisconsin. Here Martin bought a Phillip's 66 Gas Station (See Blog Post Saturday Travel Feature, "Phillips 66 in Seymour", Saturday, March 20, 2010) and built a house attached to the back. Marie and Martin planted statice on part of the acreage behind the house and sold it to the local funeral parlor for floral presentations. When Martin died in 1948 his wife Marie moved back to the house at 225 Taylor Street in Kaukauna. The house was modified for her to live upstairs and she continued to rent out the downstairs. An enclosed stairway and entrance porch was added to the back of the house to protect her from climbing the stairs in the snowy Wisconsin winter. The upstairs apartment had a large square hall leading to the living room that looked out to Taylor street and a kitchen, to a bedroom, and to a bathroom. The downstairs was rented to Bill and Betty Roerig. Here is Bill's description of their time on 225 Taylor Street. "225 Taylor Street is the source of many fond memories. It was our first home... We arrived in Kaukauna very newly married--August 22, 1948--and the promise of a house to rent from a local dry cleaner. In going in to get the key, etc., we were informed that they had changed their mind. Now what? On leaving the store we bumped into a local police officer who told us that your grandmother in Seymour was planning to move back to Kaukauna. So, off we went to Seymour, introduced ourselves to your grandma who told us that there had already been 14 folks ahead of us. Oh boy! She did not seem very friendly but asked us what church we intended to join. Knowing that Kaukauna was mostly Catholic we quietly said we were Lutheran. She asked if we would be willing to take her to church [Trinity] from time to time and of course we said, certainly. The rest is 7 years of a very good relationship, especially for Betty as your grandmother acted as a mother figure for a young girl 220 miles from home for the first time--- "At first we shared the bath upstairs for a year, or so, and after a couple of awkward incidents I put a toilet and a shower in the basement. Your grandma bought a TV, wonder of wonders, and she would invite us up there for a 30 minute program, much to our delight... In 1955 we began building our own home on the South Side of Kaukauna and our relationship with your grandma was coming to the end. She had lost her health and , I believe, was hospitalized for a short period. After being discharged from the hospital she went to stay with her old friend, a Mrs. Clough (sic). She then wanted to return to her own home and with the help of a friend of mine we managed to bring her up the outside stairs to her own bed. Betty helped care for her, read to her, prayed with her almost to the end. I do not recall the details of that period since I was busy building and teaching. We treasured those years with your grandma who was a "no nonsense", lovable lady... "The house faced North and the lower rooms were oriented as follows; The kitchen was in the southeast corner with the rear entrance on the south side. Entry was at ground level with maybe 3 steps up to the kitchen and several steps down into the basement. ( I was in charge of keeping the furnace going where I once blew the furnace door off , not knowing how to handle Pocahontas(sic) coal----also, if grandma needed heat upstairs in the morning there were several thumps on the floor to rouse me out of my slug-a-bed laziness---one night, due to my lack of knowledge about coal, we burned coke at home, I found myself on the roof stamping out sparks from a chimney fire).---The northeast room was designed for a dining area but was used for a living room since there was no suitably large room for a master bedroom which , in turn, was the northwest corner with access through French doors. The stairway to the upstairs was in the south center off the "master bedroom" and a smaller southwest bedroom which became the boy's room. "The basement consisted of a cistern to the right of the stairs, the furnace was the octopus style in the center of the basement, the coal bin was in the northwest corner and a small room in the northeast corner served later as a shower and toilet..." (Bill Roerig 2010.) In 2010 Zestimate (See Link.) reported that the 2009 tax assessor's value of the house was $94,000. The lot size was listed as 7,405 sq. ft. The house at 225 Taylor Street was the home of Suzanne Wilson's grandparents and her mother Hazel. Suzanne has vivid memories of her grandmother, Marie, living in the upstairs apartment and the Roerigs. Marie is the middle name of both Suzanne Wilson and her granddaughter Holly Misner.
