"The building was a side-by-side double house built in 1846 on Chippewa Street, now Park Avenue, in the Federal style. This style was popular from 1800 to the 1840s, especially on the East coast, but relatively rare in Wisconsin. It is considered to be the only surviving example of the Federal style in the city of Racine." Preservation Racine News, Winter 2018, Volume 13.
