Location:
- 3706 W.13th
Owner:
- John Wincek (sometimes spelled Wiencek)
History:
- John Wincek first came to USA and settled on Jefferson Ave near St John Cantius in 1902.
- He married Ludmila Andreasik in 1904. Ludmila is related to the Andreasik's the Chmura's, the Nowak's, and the Wojnarowski's of the Barbarowa neighborhood.
- The family moved to West 13th around 1908 or 1909. In 1909, John bought two adjacent properties: sublot 22 and 23 in the Ebenezer Foster's Heirs resubdivion. The addresses for these properties are 3705 and 3708 W.13th St. Using an horse-drawn wagon, John would deliver milk to the families in the neighborhood. The horse was so familiar with his barn, that when John would stop in at a bar, the horse would just walk home on his own.
- By 1915, financial circumstances became problematic for John, so he was forced to close the dairy and sell the property. The family then moved to Valley Rd.
