| 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 River Hills Village Hall was designed by Harry Bogner and built in 1939 as a Public Works Administration (PWA) project. Since the building’s initial construction, it has undergone numerous additions and alterations. The original portion is a two-story gable-ell clad in stone and featuring Colonial Revival details, such as cornice returns, a cupola, gable end chimney, and Chippendale railings. Windows are replacement four-over-four, six-over-six, and eight-over-eight double-hung sash throughout, often in groups of two or three. The remainder (and now majority) of the building is an irregular, piecemeal collection of various additions, which include several wings and a garage. The first addition, on the south east side of the original structure, is constructed of concrete block with aluminum siding. The second and third additions are wood frame construction while the garage is constructed of concrete block. None of the additions contains strong Colonial Revival details. 2019: Little or no change. Update photo |
