This row of three duplex apartments is first listed in the 1925 City Directory. Hazel Call Gaynor purchased all six adjoining lots in 1923 from Robert McCart, a large West Side landowner. Gaynor’s husband, Carlton S. Gaynor, was a partner of the contracting firm Veazie and Gaynor. The two-story duplex boxes are of wood-frame construction with stucco cladding. Prairiesque boxed eaves and stuccoed balconies which form porticos are features of each duplex, although number 5229-31 sports an unusual mansard roof.
