Constructed circa 1900, it is located southwest of the Gable-roofed barn. The barn is constructed of vertical board siding atop a fieldstone basement, with a metal gambrel roof. An earthen ramp leads to the large sliding door on the southeast elevation. Window openings have been cut into the fieldstone foundation but are boarded up. The concrete silo is located at the northwest corner of the structure. Much of the remaining barn is not visible due to tree cover. 2012- "This basement bam (AHI #226135) was constructed circa 1900. It is rectangular in plan with a metal clad, gambrel roof, vertical board walls and a field stone foundation.

A concrete silo is attached at the northwest elevation." - "STH 83, Mukwanago and Waterford 7.5 Quads", WisDOT ID #1300-09-71, Prepared by GLARC, Inc (Megan Daniels) (2012). |
