1902
Warren C. Dickerson gives No. 1066 a tower-like entrance bay
Warren C. Dickerson designed this freestanding beige-brick house, built in 1901-02 for developer Ernest Wenigmann, as a near mirror image of No. 1040 Clay Avenue. A three-story entrance bay rises above the mansard roof like a tower, trimmed with galvanized-iron wreaths. At designation it still had its original paired wood-and-glass doors and leaded-glass transoms.

1905
Advertising man Alfred Poggenburg and his wife are the house's only listed residents
In the 1905 state census, the only people recorded at No. 1066 were Alfred Poggenburg, who worked in advertising, and his wife. No tenant was listed in the house's second apartment that year, though the house had been built in 1901-02 as a two-family home.
