Humphrey by Daisy L. (Maud) and A.F. Hazelrigg in 1914.64 The Hazelrigg Family was connected
by marriage to the Andrews Opera Company, the traveling musical troupe of which Ed Andrews,
developer of the addition, was a part. Nellie Andrews, Ed's sister had married a man named Charles
Hazelrigg who became the musical director of the group. Both Charles and Nellie had emigrated
with the three Andrews brothers to Medford in 1907 and it is probable that A.F. and Daisy Hazelrigg
were related to the family.65 Within three years of the purchase by the Hazelriggs, following a
Sheriffs sale, the property had reverted to Knight and McFarland, successors to Humphrey's interest.
Later residents included most prominently Dr. Lorenzo Dow Inskeep, for a time the City of Medford
Health Officer and William P. Steward, Superintendent of the Medford Corporation.
At present the property has been substantially altered with the application of asphalt shingles and T-
111 siding, the enclosure of the front porch and various other changes that obscure the building's
original design and appearance.

Designed by architect Frank Clark and built in 1922, the Lewis and Marie Ulrich House is a one and
one-half story period revival that is part of the second major development phase within the Geneva-
Minnesota District. The structure has 6" wide horizontal siding with decorative rafter tails. The
theme of the prominent barrel-arch topped entry porch, with an exuberant surface detailing
reminiscent of the Eastlake period, is repeated in the twin eyebrow dormers of the front elevation.
To the rear, a hipped roof dormer, with clipped or "jerkin" ends, augments the primary volume.
Other decorative features include open eave returns on the side elevations, leaded-glass sidelights
flanking the main entrance, and the three-part decorative cap of the brick chimney. An open
covered patio, part of the original design, is located on the east facade. A matching garage, complete
with eyebrow dormer, is located to the rear east of the house.
Lewis Ulrich, son of a prominent Jacksonville-area pioneer family, was a well known area resident
when he and his wife Marie determined to move to Medford. Ulrich, who had been Jacksonville's
postmaster, purchased the Fouts Grocery in September 1921.
Mr. Ulrich said today that he will move to Medford....and that he intends to
