Additional Comments

A 'site file' exists for this property named 'Ernest Flagg Stone Masonry Houses of Milwaukee County'. 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. The exterior is made of flagg stone (Tennessee Quartzite). Ernest Flagg Stone Masonry Houses. Exterior walls of this one and one-half story Flagg System house are Tennessee quartzite. The house is rectangular in shape and faces south. Window and door openings are asymmetrical. There are two pairs of ridge dormers, two chimneys with distinctive rounded openings, and eight shed dormers. The garage is attached. The dining room was extended one foot to the south, at some time, in an attempt to create a bay window. A bedroom was added on the second floor above the garage. Changes to the interior at some time include changing stairway from a curving stair to a straight stairway, and cloning the fireplace on the west wall. There is an artificial fireplace on the north wall now. Casement windows now open outward, instead of inward. There is no basement and no attic. The laundry room is on the first floor. Upstairs the bathroom floor is one step above the hallway. There is a storage space provided under the roof. This house is architecturally significant because it is one of a group of stone masonry houses built by Arnold F. Meyer according to Ernest Flagg's system of construction. It is also significant because it is one of four homes built by Meyer for members of his own family. This house was built for his brother-in-law Otto Fiebing. The dining room was extended one foot to the south at some time to create a bay window. A bedroom was added above the garage. The main staircase originally curved but has since been straightened. The original fireplace on the west wall has been enclosed and an artificial one installed on the north wall. Casement windows originally opened inward but now open outward. Fiebing was the brother-in-law of Arnold F. Meyer.
