Additional Information: | Two story, Late Picturesque frame house with clapboard siding. Gable roof with bargeboards. Oddly shaped windows. Pictured in 1874 Atlas of Fond du Lac County. Phillips, the former sheriff of Onondaga County, New York and a state representative, arrived in Fond du Lac County in 1852 with his brother Lyman Phillips. Primarily a farmer, Phillips was also elected to the state Senate in 1860, and provost marshal of the Fond du Lac district in 1863-1864. Elihu was also the founder and first president of the Fond du Lac Savings Bank. The Lyman Phillips (Elihu's brother) house was very similar in design and appeared on Bogert & Haight's 1862 Map of Fond du Lac County Wisconsin. This residence, however, was destroyed by fire in 1876. |
