NOTES
Additional Information:Two stories, a hipped roof and a square floor plan characterize this Georgian Revival home. Hipped roof dormers are found at the facade and sides. The house has been altered. Rough sawn board and batten siding hides the original first story exterior. The addition of shutters and a decorative eagle has "colonialized" the house. There is also an addition at the left side. The owner of this house, Sol P. Huntington, was one of Astor's most colorful lawyers and began his practice in 1892. He was much involved in politics as a progressive Republican, and for two years served as city attorney. He spent much effort with the Brown County Bar Association as well as the Masonic fraternity of Wisconsin. He served as vice-president of the George B. Hess Company, and as director of the New Franken State Bank. As one of six commisioners to prepare and arrange for the 100th anniversary of Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie in 1812, he took a leading part in this successful centennial celebration.
