Joslin House This two-story, hip-roofed, frame Queen Anne house has fine Stick Style ornamentation. It was built circa 1890 for the Ebys (Oneida County deeds, 12:351). The Ebys lost the house in foreclosure in 1895 (Oneida County deeds, 21:636). Ironically, Christopher Eby was Oneida County treasurer. He also was a lumber manufacturer. The house features a gable-roofed, projecting entrance pavilion with ornate bargeboards, brackets, diagonally-placed boards in the gable end, a segmental-arched molding, corner boards, and an entrance with multipaned sidelights and transom. The hip-with-deck-roofed entry porch has compound wood columns, turned balusters, and a spindle frieze. The house also has two boxy, shed-roofed, bay windows with carved wood surrounds, and resting on brackets; and window surrounds with a sunburst motif on the lintel. W. D. Joslin, who operated a livery, was a long-time resident of the house. It remained in the Joslin family f rom at least 1909 until at least 1944 (City of Rhinelander tax rolls; Rhinelander City Directories). The House is a fine example of a Stick Style-Queen Anne residence with very good integrity, despite the presence of replacement windows. |
