| Additional Information: | DR. KARL H. DOEGE WAS ONE OF THE SONS OF DR. KARL W. DOEGE, THE FOUNDER OF THE MARSHFIELD CLINIC. GEORGE SCHLEY & SONS WERE A MILWAUKEE FIRM THAT ALSO DESIGNED THE DR. PAUL F. DOEGE HOUSE NEXT DOOR IN 1931. 2005- Occupies a large corner lot at the west end of the district and has the distinction of being the only house in the West Fifth Street - West Sixth Street Historic District whose designer is known. This was the Milwaukee firm of George Schley & Sons, one of that city's most prolific architectural firms and one of its largest builders of semi-custom homes as well. The fine Tudor Revival style house they designed for Doege is a typical example of the better examples of the style in that it has an irregular plan, steeply pitched multi-gable main roof, massive chimney mass, overlapping front gables, grouped windows having multiple lights that are held in place with leaded or metal cames, and false half-timber work in some gable ends. The Doege house is irregular in plan, two-stories in height, and it its entire first story and both stories of its west wing are sided in dark red brick, and an east wing whose second story is clad in painted stucco, portions of which are framed by false half-timber work. Windows throughout are double hung but these have multiple lights that are held in place with metal cames, the completed whole being one of the better and more elaborate examples of the style in Marshfield. Dr. Karl H. Doege was one of the sons of Dr. Karl W. Doege, who was the principal partner in the group of doctors that formed the Marshfield Clinic. His son, Karl, subsequently also entered into practice in the Clinic as did his brother and neighbor, Paul F. Doege, who built his equally fine Mediterranean Revival style house next door at 1010 W. Fifth St. |
