Wasn’t this spite house on Downer Mrs. Jeske’s house? She was a Downer avenue fixture and famous cat lady. She had a black standard poodle and would stop at the drugstore where I worked and buy him an ice cream sandwich. She had too many cats and that’s why the house had to be torn down.
When I was in grad school back in the 1960s some other friends, also grad students, lived in the Ettenheim house. It was painted yellow on the lower and upper levels with brown in the middle. These guys called it the “s**t sandwich.” We hung out at the Tuxedo Bar across the street to the south.
The spite house on Downer was owned by a lady named Mrs, Jeske. She was a Downer Ave. fixture and a cat lady. She used to walk her standard black poodle and stop at the drugstore where I worked at to buy him an ice cream sandwich. She had too many cats and they had to tear the house down due to that. I don’t know what happened to her though.
