NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation. School (1951; MN 23/4) and convent (MN 23/5) - separate records.

The eastern part of the house was standing in when John Lauroesch bought the farm in 1856. It had a "basement 8 feet high under the whole thing, with brick floor, and stone foundation all plastered and white washed, two bedrooms upstairs all plastered and whitewashed and finished."
"In 1869 Laureosch remodeled the kitchen part of the house, and tore off the shed roof and put on a gable roof, covering kitchen, pantry, bedroom and porch."
In 1886, son-in-law August Arnemann "started building the new addition, from the front door west, and turned the old roof around, making it east and west, to match the other new roof."
In 1930 remodeled to present appearance by George and Linda Sekadlo.
