Radka–Bradley House
Radka–Bradley House (Bradley House) sits at 176 W. Michigan Ave., Rogers City, Michigan. Built in 1914 by local contractor George J. Radka, he died at year’s end. In 1915 the house passed to J. L. Marsters and soon after to his boss, Carl D. Bradley, president of Michigan Limestone and Chemical Company. Bradley enlarged the home and led the company to national prominence. He was active in Rogers City life, serving on local boards and helping found the Westminster Presbyterian Church. Bradley lived there until his death in 1928 while on vacation in Pasadena, California. Michigan Limestone bought the house from his widow.
Subsequent owners included John G. Munson (1928–1939), Irvin L. Clymer (1940–1950), and Joseph Valentin (1950–1957). From 1957 to 1980 the Presque Isle District Library used the house. In 1981 the Presque Isle County Historical Museum moved in and continues to operate there.
The Radka–Bradley House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1991 (reference number 91001019). It sits on about 0.5 acres and is designed in the Bungalow/American Craftsman style. The 1.5-story frame house features a side-gable roof with green shingles, a rounded cobblestone foundation, a front shed dormer, a glass-enclosed porch at the entrance, and side porches at each end. Exterior rafters extend to the outside with scalloped ends. Inside, there are seven bedrooms, four baths, and three sun porches.
