Botte / Hoffman / Augustyniak House.  Simpler and smaller than its neighbor when built (c.1892), this home has been doubled in size to meet the demands of family living.  The original lines of the house, however, are clearly visible and the additions, including the wide wrap-around veranda with turned posts and balustrades are in keeping with the Victorian cottage design.  This was the lifetime home of Leon Botte, a Belgium glass blower, who emigrated to Maumee in 1890.  Later owners, completed the expansion.
