2062 Robinwood-A. Burnside Sturges Home
 
2062 Robinwood was built in 1893 by plans drawn up by its first owner, A. Burnside Sturges, an architect with his office in the Spitzer Building.  Mr. Sturges' name appeared as the occupant of this mansion in both the 1896, 1900 and the 1907 Polk city directories.  In 1896 Alice Rodgers boarded in the home and the live-in domestic was Emma Roethlisberger, while in 1900 was Louise Ammon, and in 1910 was Ida Kunkel.  The 1910 and 1918 directories listed the resident as Charles Niles, the president of the Security Savings Bank & Trust Company but later as being with Durfee Niles & Co.  Sarah Niles, a student, roomed here in 1918.
