Engraving from 1886 highlighting the Goetze House in King William, the only dwelling in the New City Block of 750 in the then-new district south of the city’s center, which later became known as the King William Historic District. The engraving—actually a cartographer’s aerial view of the city created with axonometeric projection—depicts a few German mansions beginning to fill up the vacant rows of parcels along King William Street. On the southern side of East Johnson Street, there are only 2 other houses—both mansions erected by the venerable Steves Family.
