| Additional Information: | STILTED BRICK SEGMENTAL ARCH LINTELS. 6/6 WINDOWS. GABLED ELL W/ALUMINUM SIDED ADDITION W/DORMER. Resurveyed 2014. Appearance unchanged. This cream brick Gabled Ell was built around 1860, according to Mayville assessor's records. The house consists of a two-story "upright", front-gabled portion with a small one-story ell. Fenestration is regular and consists of six-over-six double hung wood windows. These windows are set into segmental arched openings. The arches in the upright portion have modest ltalianate-style brick hood moulds. Two entry doors are located on the front elevation: the door in the upright portion is a modern fiberglass replacement, while the door in the ell appears to be a historic wood four-panel door with six lights. The house has a modern roof but retains its wood eaves and frieze boards. The house was acquired by Rudolph Sauerhering in 1861. Sauerhering was a Prussian immigrant who had studied at Koenigsburg University before coming to Mayville in 1851. Rudolph owned a pharmacy along with his brother Adolph, who also was a physician. No other information was found to suggest eligibility. The house is a vernacular form with only modest ltalianate stylistic elements and a new roof. The property was previously surveyed in 1982. The inventory record was updated, including a current photo. "A smaller & simpler version of this style was built in 1860. The two story brick house has a low pitched roof & arched windows with brick hood molds. Rudolph Sauerhering acquired the house in 1861. The original front porch was removed & a family room was added." "MEANDERING THROUGH MAYVILLE", WOMEN'S SERVICE LEAGUE, 1995. |
