| Additional Information: | This former farmstead property consists of a house (1913, AHI#226027), barn with attached milk house (ca. 1910s, AHI#226028), a poured concrete silo (ca. 1910s, AHI#226028), a two-car garage (ca. 1940s, not surveyed), and a small shed with drop siding (ca. 1920, AHI#226028). The one-and-one-half-story, front-gabled house is sheathed with vinyl along its first story, while its upper level is sheathed with replacement shingles. The front porch is supported by a series of four, turned post supports with no balustrade. Windows are either four-over-one or replacement one-over-one sashes. The gambrel-roof barn is covered with vertical board siding; a one-story, gabled structure (presumably a milk house) with both vertical and horizontal board sheathing extends from the rear. The subject property was purchased by blacksmith Otto Radke in 1882. In 1913, his daughter Ella wed Allen Pierner, the son of John Pierner, who also farmed in Section 3. The subject house is believed to have been built at the time of their marriage and, four years later, Allen and Ella purchased the property. The Pierners had one daughter Ruby, who would later own the farm with her husband Henry Schaefer. Henry & Ruby would subdivide their 28-acre property in 1969 as Cloverleaf Estates South; a street within the subdivision is named W. Pierner Place. |
