| Additional Information: | An 1875 plat map states that Ira Bradford lived on this parcel, which mostly likely coincides with the construction of the main barn. By 1902, the property was owned by Franz Suckow; it remained in the Suckow family into the 1930s. The house mostly likely was constructed during that family’s occupancy. A 1941 plat indicates that the 5-acre farmstead had been separated from the surrounding property by 1941. 2013- "This two-and-one-half-story, Queen Anne-style house [229305] is sheathed wooden shingles on the first floor and a portion of the second, while the upper portion of the second floor is covered with narrow clapboard. The dividing line between the two levels is flared, as are the pedimented gables (covered with wooden shingles). The main (east) facade is defined by a modem deck on the first floor and nearly identical balcony on the second. The southern elevation features a bay that has canted corners on the first floor and square corners on the second. Fenestration generally consists of one-over-one, double-hung sashes; a picture window on the main facade also is evident. Meanwhile, the farmstead consists of a board-clad bank barn [229306] with stone foundation and modem, metal-clad addition; a circa-1960s concrete-stave silo, a metal-clad shed and a pair of metal grain bins. An 1875 plat map states that Ira Bradford owned this parcel, whose tenure most likely coincides with the construction of the main bam. By 1902, the property was owned by Franz Suckow; it remained in the Suckow family into the 1930s. The circa-1910s house mostly likely was constructed during that family's occupancy. A 1941 plat indicates that the five-acre farmstead had been separated from the surrounding property by 1941. The house is now a duplex." -"STH 23: CTH P (west) to STH 32 (east)", WisDOT #14440-19-00, Prepared by Heritage Research, Ltd. (Faltinson), 2013. |
