NOTES
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, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History.

Two-story cube has hip and deck roof with gable on front (road) side. One and one-half story side ell projects from north end of cube; this ell has a shed gable on rear side. Small one-story addition projects from rear of side ell. House has porches across entire front as well as at rear corner. As of 2011, front porch appears to be completely rebuilt and enlarged slightly: new concrete post footings outside of original stone foundations, new floor and roof structure; although turned posts appear to match those on rear porch. Rear porch has continuous stone foundation wall, turned posts with modest scrolled brackets, simple balustrade.

Also on property are a c. 1913 barn (AHI #171201), and two c. 1913 sheds (AHI #171221 and 171241).
