| 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. Flat roofed entrance porch with Tuscan and replacement metal posts; round north bay window; palladian style window in south gable; shingled upper story; bracket trimmed cut away bay on northwest corner. This was the home of William Stone, an executive of Woodard and Stone between c. 1893 and c. 1900; and attorney John Conway between c. 1907 and c. 1930. This house has some historical interest as the home of William Stone and John Conway. Initial research indicates that they are not significant, therefore, this house does not meet the criteria for local historical significance. In the proposed historic district for this area, however, this house would be considered contributing to the overall historical significance of the district under criterion B, association with significant persons as a group. This building does not meet the criteria of the NRHP for architectural significance because of a lack of integrity. However, this building has sufficient architectural character to contribute to the proposed historic district. |
