924 Spaight St - George W. and Catherine Hyer House - 1856

WAHI #112919

George Hyer (1819-1872) was the son-in-law of Elisha Keyes, and a prominent newspaper publisher.

Later, William G. Walker, partner in the King & Walker foundry (later to become the Wisconsin Foundry), lived here before he built his mansion at 1007 Spaight.

Lately, someone has done some good work to this house, removing the old asbestos siding, and restoring the clapboard.
