| Additional Information: | Leander J. (L.J.) Noble was one of Menasha's most involved community leaders. An extensive land owner, Noble was Superintendent of Menasha Wooden Ware Co., Park Commissioner, served on various committees and was elected alderman of the Third Ward. His house on Naymut Street was constructed circa 1875. The Leander J. Noble House is historically significant for its association with one of Menasha's most involved community leaders. The Leander J. Noble House is located on Doty Island in one of Menasha's most promiinent residential neighborhoods. Situated on the west side of Naymut Street, the Noble House is a rectangular two-story Italianate residence featuring twin square towers and an extensive veranda. The foundations are of unspecified stone, the siding is clapboard and the roof material is asphalt. The roof is hipped to a platform with dormers. The windows are double-hung, single-pane sash. Decorative features include returning eaves on the tower gables. A contributing member of the Naymut Street Historic District, the Leander J. Noble House is architecturally significant as an unusual example of the Italianate form in Menasha. 2009--The boundary of the Naymut Street historic District has been reduced in size since proposed in 1984; however, the Noble residence remains in the district as defined in 2009. The only apparent change to the home since 1984 is the home's re-sheathing with vinyl (it was previously clapboard). |
