New House on Old Schwaper Property
A well-crafted traditional house was recently built on the site of the old Schwaper House. The historic Schwaper House was moved to the backyard to make room for the new house.

Ferdinand Schwaper House - Vernacular Style circa 1895
Most dwellings constructed in Oswego at the time of this house were in the Vernacular Style with Gothic Revival characteristics. Note the common components evident in this house: the steeply pitched gabled roof; the rectangular shape arranged in an L-shaped plan; the horizontal lapped siding finished with corner and rake boards; and the double-hung sash windows.
