NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' titled 'Holy Ghost Parish Historic District' 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, State Historic Preservation Office. This metal utility shed is located north of the playground area. Facing north, its primary elevation contains a single overhead garage door under a shallow gabled, corrugated metal roof. Walls of the rectangular shed are also corrugated metal, and the building rests on a concrete slab.

2016- "The district is comprised of approximately 5.3 acres, encompassing two tax parcels with multiple contributing and non-contributing resources. The Parish property currently contains the church [AHI#55789], school [55790], rectory [55791], cemetery [232926], and several utilitarian buildings. These buildings in the district represent the second generation of Parish buildings, built to accommodate a growing congregation after the first church, school, and rectory became too small or outdated. They are generally unified in appearance, despite their construction dates spanning approximately 20 years, by their red brick walls atop limestone foundations. In addition, the current Parish property contains the scattered elements of the Holy Ghost Park [44363], a series of shrines and grottos designed and constructed by Father Mathias Wernerus during his tenure as parish priest. The second tax parcel of the district contains the former convent [232925] for the teaching sisters of the school.

The metal utility shed located north of the playground area was constructed circa 1990. Facing north, its primary elevation contains a single overhead garage door under a shallow gabled, corrugated metal roof. Walls of the rectangular shed are also corrugated metal, and the building rests on a concrete slab."
