Thanks to Sarah Gail Erlich Hytowitz, the great-granddaughter of the builder, for the identification.

According to a front page article in the March 31, 1898 Bainbridge democrat, the superintendent of construction of this house was W. H. Carr, who was, at the time of the article, handling the design and construction of the “Belcher Block” on the northwest corner of Broad and Water Streets. The article mentions the Ehrlich house being under construction and was to cost $5000! It was to be “two stories, with all modern improvements and conveniences, steel ceilings, plate glass windows, etc. and will be the finest in the city.”
This home was built by my Great Grandfather, H. B. Ehrlich and was the first home in the county wired for electricity. My father, Bert Ehrlich was born there in 1913.
