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, State Historic Preservation Office. October 2005-Silos: Two silos are attached at the northeast corner of the barn. They are both of concrete construction, but the west silo is slightly wider and has a concrete cap and vent at the top. This silo dates to about 1920. The east silo was probably built around 1950 and is of concrete construction, but with a metal dome typical of that era. Both are in good condition and contribute to the farmstead. Statement of Significance: The Krueger family is associated with this farmstead as early as 1873. August Krueger continued to occupy the farmstead until the turn of the twentieth century. By 1910, it was the home of Julius Braunschweig, who owned it into the mid-twentieth century. During the mid-to-late twentieth century, the farmstead was the property of Reinhardt Braunschweig. (Plat Maps) The Krueger Farmstead was evaluated with all relevant criteria for the National Register of Historic Places for the National Register of Historic Places. The Krueger House contributes to the architectural significance of the farmstead as a good and relatively intact example of a cream brick farmhouse from the mid-nineteenth century. It features vague Italianate details, but is a simple Gabled Ell vernacular from typical of the simple farm houses from that era. The house also expresses good nineteenth century brick construction materials and methods. The majority of the outbuildings also contribute to the architectural significance of the farmstead for their types of construction. The basement barn is a good and intact example of a nineteenth century multi-purpose barn that appears to have been converted to dairying. The modern milk house addition is probably of too recent construction to contribute to the building, but verifies that the barn was used fro a dairy operation. The two silos are very nice and well-preserved examples of a type of structure that was important to the dairy expansion era of the twentieth century. Highway improvements at the intersection of CTH O and Wiley Road include the addition of curb and gutter at the adjacent intersection and some minor ditch grading. Some minor temporary easements are proposed but there will be no permanent acquisitions. Due to the proximity of the house, barn and silos to this work, these improvements may have an effect on the farmstead. (See documentation for determination of no adverse effect.) |
