Dr. and Mrs. Raymond F. Lichte purchased the Halligan Mansion and land in 1936 for $3,600, planning to use the bricks and other material to build a house on the site. At that time, the mansion was known as the Park Hotel, but for almost 20 years previously was known as the Martin's Hotel and Summer Home, a popular vacation destination owned by Herman Martin and his wife, Seraphine Anna Martin nee Wunderlich. As the story goes, when the Lichte plat was created, Wally Avenue was named for Wallis Warfield Simpson, soon to be the wife of Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, and formerly King Edward VIII. The Lichte house presently stands at 207 Wally Avenue.
