| Additional Information: | Early one-and-one-half story frame house. Although altered since construction, this house retains its original Greek Revival design features including returns at the gable ends, corner pilaster strips, and an entablature. Built for S.W. Lee, a silversmith. Raze order approved by the SHSW on 10/24/2000. These small frame houses typify the modest dwellings built for workers throughout Look West in the nineteenth century. 310, built in 1855, has the returned eaves and corner pilasters associated with Greek Revival houses, but all would be considered vernacular. 310 was built by S.W. Lee, a silversmith." THE LOOK WEST HISTORIC DISTRICT, PREPARED BY LANDSCAPE RESEARCH FOR THE JANESVILLE HISTORIC COMMISSION, JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN 1987. |
