| Additional Information: | Map code 0709-134-0520-9. Third lake Ridge Historic District: A Walking Tour. 1987: "The Hyer house is one of several Greek Revival style houses built in the district in the 1850s. Low-pitched gable roofs with returned eaves and three-bay facades identify them as early houses. 940 Spaight, originally owned by carpenter and lumber dealer Erastus Wyman, is another. Hyer was associated with several Madison newspapers including the Wisconsin Enquirer, the first newspaper to be published here." |
