| Additional Information: | 2015- "There are two buildings associated with the legal parcel address of 1302 Washington Avenue (225004 and 225163); however, the street address for the octagonal restaurant is 1331 Covered Bridge Rd. The 2-story tavern and dance hall, historically known as Rinn's Tavern and Dance Hall (AHI#225163), was constructed c. 1880. The building consists of a front gabled main block with modest Queen Anne details in the gable and a boom town addition to the east elevation. The building is irregular in plan with clapboard siding and an asphalt shingled roof. The front elevation of the main block faces southeast. Two variations of wood shingles are used in the gable of the southeast facade-a geometrically patterned shingle in the triangular section in the top of the gable with extends forward above a bracketed cornice and a simple wood shingle in the lower portion also enclosed with a bracketed cornice. At the second level, two 1-over-1 windows are evenly spaced from the center of the southeast facade between the gable and the first story enclosed addition. An irregularly shaped 1-story addition has been added to the west and southeast elevation connecting to the boom town addition at the east elevation. The 1-story addition has an asphalt-shingled roof and stone veneered piers. The boom town addition extends from the east elevation of the main block with a projecting cornice, clapboard at the second level and board and batten at the first level. Rectangular window openings are set at the second level of the boom town addition at varying intervals." - "Eagle Drive to STH 181 Survey," WisDOT ID #2310-14-00, Prepared by Megan Daniels and Justin Miller - UWM CRM (2015). |
