History

In the 1850s, Ryer Appeldorn, a Dutch shoemaker, emigrated from Holland and settled in Kalamazoo. He established a successful tannery and shoe shop in the area, and his sons carried on the business. One of Ryer's sons, Peter B. Appeldorn, purchased this lot in 1894. He had this house built for his family in 1895. The Appeldorns lived in the house until World War II. [2]
