NOTES
Additional Information:This multi-story, Postmodern-era house features a variety of rooflines, including gabled and shed versions. Sheathing is entirely of board, set both vertically and horizontally. Windows are minimal, at least along its primary (west) entrance elevation, and are either casement or awning types. A simple stoop fronts the entry door, while a modest second-level balcony extends to the south. A garage wing terminates the house to the north.

Located in the Seitz Estates #4 subdivision, this house was built between 1979 and 1980 for Dr. Vincent and Kathleen McAvoy, at an approximate cost of $75,000. The general contractor was Roy Olson, Inc. The McAvoys remained in the house through at least 2002. Dr. McAvoy spent his career as a dentist with an office in Waukesha.
