About the other house you found on 24th & Arlington, I think it's been covered on Noirish before, but it was built in 1902 for Joseph Dupuy. You're right, it's now owned by the city and operated as a recreation center, and now known as the "South Seas House." More info to be found here.
I used to drive by here all the time on the way to the Expo Park museums. IIRC, for many years there was an exterior staircase that led up to a doorway in one of the second story dormers. At the time the whole place was weatherbeaten and run down, and it looked as if a gentle breeze would blow it over.
