SQUARE TURRET W/BRACKETED PYRAMIDAL ROOF. 2016- "James L Gates was one of the largest individual holders of pinelands in the United states in the late 1800s. Most of his 800,000 acre holdings were located in Wisconsin and Florida. Gates also operated the largest mercantil in Neillsville and erected two brick buildings. The Gothic Revival style house was built before 1876. The gable end verge boards exhibit detailing created with the newly perfected scroll saw. When built the front facade did not have a porch; the prairie style porch was added some time after it was built." -"Neillsville, Wisconsin Historical & Architectural Tour."
