"The Hawley House is a two and one half story residence on a high dressed limestone foundation with assymetrical massing and a steeply pitched intersecting gabled roof. The walls are finished in pressed brick and are trimmed with stone and terra cotta. The wall planes rise above the roof lines in steep gables topped with crocketeed coping. The house abuts the Bloodgood House on Knapp Street. The entry is recessed within a Tudor arch surfaced with smooth coursed, limestone. The windows are double-hung, single light sash with stone sills and lintels. It was designed by Milwaukee architect, Howland Russel. The major alteration was the removal of the oriel above the entry in 1960." (A).
