| 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. This building served as both garage and stable, but also provided living quarters for some of the property's help. This is a one-story, vertical log building with two wings. Both wings feature front-gable rooflines that intersect with the side-gable roofline of the central section. The intersecting gable roofs are covered with wood shakes and feature copper flashing and valleys. There are three wood cupola ventilators. The cow palaces's interior space can be divided into three areas: the central area with garage and shop space; the east wing with living quarters; and the west wing with stable/dairy, feed storage, and creamery/milk room. In 1937, Edwin Lundie created plans for a bullpen to be attached to the stable. It is located west of the cow palace and is enclosed by a wood post and rail fence. Forest Lodge Dairy had its own private label and produced milk and milk products for the family and guests at the lodge until the dairy herd was removed circa 1961. |
