Murphy managed Green Bay's largest lumber mill, established near the mouth of the Fox in 1882. Appropriately, Murphy clad his house in wooden clapboards. The two-and-one-half-story residence features a cross-gambrel roof with a bell-cast dormer and a one-story brick porch with Doric columns. A porch and balustraded roof deck wrap around to one side, while a sun porch with casement windows extends to the other. |
