National Register of Historic Places - Robert Ostertag House (Residential Structures by Mary Rockwell Hook TR)
Statement of Significance: This house was built at a cost of $15,000 for Robert A. Ostertag, President of the Janssen-Ostertag Manufacturing Company, fabricators of tin cans. The fenestration, along with the clean stucco facing of this house, makes it the least traditional of Mrs. Hook's designs. Like her other works, it is sited on a sloping terrain and through its doors and windows incorporates the outdoors into the interior. Two other features are also characteristic of her residential designs: a two-sided fireplace that opens into both the living and dining rooms, and a basement garage.
