The 1891 Polk City Directory listed Jerome L. Stratton as the resident at 118 Prescott.  His occupation was a civil engineer working from 426 Adams Street.  He had a boarder who lived in his home.  Edward F. Austin was a clerk with the post office.  John A. and Mary C. Felker were long-time owners.  I found John listed in the 1896 directory at 124 Prescott and his occupation was the manager of J. H. Kohne, a grocery store at 2002 Adams Street.  In 1900, the Felker family lived here.
