| Additional Information: | 2019- This small animal building stands on the historic Lewis C. and Mary Williams farmstead. The property was previously identified in the AHI as the Lewis C. and Margaret Williams Farmstead (22700-227206), but Lewis C. and Mary Williams are more appropriately associated with the property. Although county records date the building to 1945, the chicken coop is evident in the 1937 aerial photograph. The small, short rectangular building has wood walls and a metal shed roof. A doorway is set in the east wall, and four short openings fenestrate the south elevation. The building is not in use and appears to be in poor structural condition. It was excluded from the 2019 Kenosha County intensive survey due to a lack of integrity. This building is not individually eligible. The farmstead as a whole is also recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP." 2013- "This farmstead consists of seven historic resources including a house [227200], garage [227201], poultry house [227202], stone outbuilding [227208], dairy barn complex [227204], corn crib [227205], and a pole barn [227206]. Recently constructed resources include a c.1973 hay/cattle shed and a c.1983 grain bin. The poultry house was constructed c.1915. It is rectangular in plan with a concrete foundation, horizontal board walls, and a shed roof. Four window openings are located in the southern elevation. A single doorway is located in the eastern elevation. -"USH 45: 16th Ave to STH 50", WisDOT#3200-01-02, Prepared by Gail Klein, (2013). small animal building |
