NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' titled Little Chute Locks and Canal Historic District exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. Photo Code: FCS 5/26. Positioned twelve feet south of the guard lock, and immediately west of the adjacent bridge, this is the most substantial locktender's station on the waterway. It is a one-story structure of red-brown tapestry brick on a cement foundation. Its asbestos-shingled hip roof has deep eaves, a plain cornice, and ridge seems capped by segmented metal trim. The stub of a metal smokestack protrudes from the front, downstream roof slope. The front wall has a left-side door and a single window with a cement sill to the right. The sidewalls each have three windows linked by extended cement sills. All of the windows are covered by plywood panels.

STRUCTURES RELATED TO THIS BUILDING INCLUDE A GUARD LOCK AND A BRIDGE.
