| 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-Machine Shed: This large shed was probably built around 1900 for the storage of machinery or other agricultural equipment. It has a rectangular form with a gable roof and walls constructed of vertical wood boards. There is a rough stone foundation supporting the building. The east elevation is almost all taken up with a large double-door constructed of thinner vertical wood boards. The building is in fair condition and contributes to the farmstead. The wire corn crib, machine shed, shed/garage, granary, and shed/small animal building are all relatively intact and well-preserved examples of important agriculture-related buildings representing the development of farming in Wisconsin. The granary represents the early years of cash grain cropping, especially wheat production. The barn, previously discussed, represents the era of diversified stock raising and dairying with a transition to dairying in the twentieth century. The sheds were all necessary outbuildings for equipment storage, and later, automobile and tractor storage. Small animal buildings were also frequently built on farms for poultry and/or swine production. These buildings all contribute to the architectural significance of the farmstead because they represent the growth and development of this particular farm and its production through the years. 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.) |
