Theodore Conkey

---

Theodore Conkey built his mansion in 1849 at 433 W. Prospect Ave.

Theodore Conkey and his wife Cynthia are well known names in Appleton history. Conkey platted the city of Appleton, named Outagamie County, served in the Wisconsin State Senate and General Assembly and was a colonel in the 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry in the Civil War.

An article on the Conkey family and their homes (including an early image) appears in the Summer 2000 issue of the Old Third Ward Neighborhood News.
