Stricker House in Bridgeport?


This is most likely Philip Stricker's house. To the best of my father's memory, it is near Bridge Street east and Bloomingdale Road in Kitchener or the former Bridgeport, Ontario.

I can't find any homes in the area that have a similar shape but many seem to have been torn down to build warehouses and the like.

Do you have any photos of visits to relatives that show the house or others. I will eventually do a land search but I haven't had the time as of yet.

I can see Philip with his horse and dog out front. Ella Stricker is in front of the fence. It looks like Albert is holdng a child which could be his first born, Lillian and perhaps his wife Adeline Schafer is on the other side of Ella. It looks like Amanda Reichert is sittin gon the porch to the right and perhaps Laura Stricker (Lasso) is sitting on the left. Laura's husband William Lasso build a house at 28 Bloomingdale Road which should be rather close to this house if it's where I think.
