(La Porte County, IN) - A house once belonging to a famous La Porte County resident is for sale.

 

The four bedroom, five bath home was built by Dr. William Scholl.

 

Scholl, who practiced medicine in Chicago, went on to develop arch supports and other foot aides under the brand Dr. Scholl’s.

 

The beachfront home in Long Beach is listed at over $3.6 million.

 

Scholl was born in La Porte.  One of 13 children and the son of a carriage maker and dairy farmer, Scholl learned about foot care and shoes thanks to his grandfather, who was a shoemaker in Germany. 

 

He passed away in 1968.  Scholl was 85.
