Built in 1895-1896. Robert C. Spencer, Jr., Chicago, architect.

“Mrs. Rehfeld, Madison, describes the interior floor plan: “A large living room/parlor were located across the front; sliding oak doors closed off the large hall from the parlor, dining room and living room; a china room with glass shelves and cabinets separated the dining room and refrigerator room. The cloak room and washroom were located in the lower part of the tower. There were two stairways: a front stairway located in the tower with a landing half-way up which had tall windows and a window seat (for plants); and a back stairway which went from the “walk-out” basement to the third floor. On the second floor there were four bedrooms, one bath and the linen room; the third floor had one finished and two unfinished rooms.”

Mrs. Rehfeld spent her childhood at the house (she is either the daughter or the grand-daughter of Marshall Parkinson).

I soon saw that he was a natural mechanic and quite a Genius to make himself useful in all the varied Industries of the furniture business. His skill in the matrass business became first class - also in upholstering. He filled the Position of Salesman nicely. He was a man of strict integrity, honest, Just, upright cheerful and genial. He had many virtues of the Just. He was ever free from the Arts and tricks of the Jockey. He was in my employ nearly 32 years. He was with me when I sold out the Furniture business. I found only 3 errours in his cash record during the 32 years. During that Period never any harsh words passed between us. He was an efficient assistant in pushing forward the different industries in the furniture business. He Died September 16th 1895. He now rests from his labors and we believe he is happy in Elysian fields of Beauty. Darwin Clark." Simeon Mills is in the photo with Clark.
