Hogan tract to be subdivided into city lots
The Hogan tract at Eighteenth and Market streets, once owned by J. J. Hogan, will be subdivided into lots and sold in early spring. Charles A. Wellman of Ottumwa has purchased the land and will place the lots on sale. The 40 acre area was reduced after the Hogan school was built, with seven acres donated to the city. The site sits near two streetcar lines and has long been known as the circus grounds for shows like Buffalo Bill and Ringling Brothers. Boundaries are Market, Eighteenth, Twenty Fourth and Jackson streets, adjacent to La Crosse. Wellman is a noted La Crosse figure, formerly with Manning and Wellman in Hillview.
