| Additional Information: | 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. 1985- Cotswold Cottage. One of the Ernest Flagg Stone Masonry Houses of Milwaukee County (listed on NRHP: 9/12/85). This one and one half-story Flagg System house is 25 x 50 feet. It has limestone exterior walls and faces south. There are four pairs of ridge dormers and five gable dormers. The gable roof has composition shingles and there are two square-topped chimneys. The plan of the house was originally L-shaped, but a two-story addition containing a family room and two bedrooms has made the house T-shaped. The original garage is attached. The beam and girder ceiling throughout the first floor was extended to the first floor addition. The living room has a stone fireplace and casement windows opening inward over tile sills. There is no basement and the laundry room is on the first floor. There is a small attic and built-in storage space. The upstairs bathroom is one step up from the level of the hall. The partitions are 1 3/4 inches thick. The house is not out of place in this neighborhood of somewhat larger homes. This house is architecturally significant because it is one of a group of stone masonry houses built by Arnold F. Meyer & Company, Inc. according to construction methods of Ernest Flagg. |
