NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' 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, State Historic Preservation Office. #650: Barn. This two and one half story Italianate house is constructed of cream bricks. It has a gable roof with returned eaves decorated with modillions. Windows are sashes with flat stone lintels. A round arched window sits in the gable peak of the two story entry pavilion. An enclosed front porch covers the main wall of the building. The vertical emphasis with classical details is typical of the late Italianate form, as seen on this building. The wide eaves are also typical of the style.
