Schuck owned a building and supply company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when in the early 1920s his doctor told him he might have one year to live but only if he moved to a warmer climate. Schuck moved his family to Bartow around 1926 and started building the home with his sons while living across the street. The house was uniquely designed with many features that have been referred to as "Ingenious touches" leading it to also be called "The Crazy House", or "The House of a Thousand Gadgets".Sun News: What would Conrad Schuck do?- Retrieved 2018-01-02
