| 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. The 1962 River Hills Department of Public Works building was designed by the architectural firm of Spinti & Spinti of Milwaukee in a modest Colonial Revival style. The square, one-story main block is clad in brick and features a massive central chimney projecting above a moderately pitched hip roof. The roof is covered in slate, and has a minimal overhang above a wide, dentilated wood cornice. The central main entrance features a round arch doorway with pair of six-panel wooden doors below a semicircular single-light transom. The main block is flanked by two smaller, flat-roof wings, each with shallow coping at the roofline above a dentiled brick cornice. Window openings contain one-over-one, double hung sash with replacement snap-in muntins, stone sills, and brick jack-arch lintels. A serpentine brick wall continues from the wings, featuring the same dentiled brick cornice, and encloses a courtyard and equipment storage sheds. 2019: Little or no change. Update photo |
