Bob Zick ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #53 on:** December 18, 2016, 08:01:28 AM »

Pretty obscure, wan't he?

Was the builder's name Zicke ?

Shall I add a letter at the end of "Zick" to find the builder's name ?

Is the builder's name Zwick ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #59 on:** December 20, 2016, 03:42:20 AM »

No sir.

Zicek ?

Remove one letter from his last name, and he'd share a name with a virtually unknown baseball pitcher for the Chicago Cubs.

Is it open to all?

Go for it!

Dzick ?

To make this a bit simpler: the last name you are looking for has the same number of letters as "Zick"

oko94 · « **Reply #67 on:** December 21, 2016, 04:22:23 AM »

Isn't it in contradiction with your July 23, 2013 hint ? Or is the almost homonymous Cubs pitcher somebody else than Zick ?

Edit : is it Robert "Bob" Zilk ?

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #68 on:** December 21, 2016, 04:26:49 AM »

Zuck?

I see your point - my clue was not well-worded.

Regardless, searching for a few other words in previous entries ("heap"; "Walla Walla") would have led to the answer.

Regardless, you found the solution!
