It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. See information included in record #233223. 2016- "The Peck Farm-Kohler Improvement Company Farm is comprised of approximately 5 acres, at the northeast corner of the intersection of STH 28 and Broadway Street/County Highway EE, in the Village of Kohler, Sheboygan County. Entirely out of view from the roadway (and situated behind a frame machine shed), the house is located at the northernmost edge of the property, just south of the open-air horse shelters (associated with the River Wildlife Corral) that continue to the north. Foliage lines the property along the west and for a length along the north. The area immediately to the south consists of a small number of modern residences, along with non-descript or altered, early-to-mid-twentieth century houses. Kohler's Blackwolf Run golf course abuts the greater farm parcel to the east, while across the road to the west is wetlands and woodland. The barn and two silos are located closest to the roadway along the south side of the parcel, with an approximate setback of 200 feet. Located within a stand of trees and along the west side of the property is a small utility shed that has a setback of about 130 feet from Broadway Street/CTH EE. A total of nine elements are associated with the property: the house [233223]; a barn (with additions) [233224]; two silos; machine shed [233225]; cattle shed [233226]; and a utility shed [233227]; along with wood fencing and signage. None of the elements are considered to be contributing. Machine Shed (233225: Ca. 1910s (+),Non-contributing): Oriented on an east/west axis, this side-gabled, frame machine shed rises from a concrete footing. Vertical board sheathes the building, which includes sliding doors along its south elevation, as well as a modern, human-scale door near the center, as well as a modern, overhead garage door at the west end. A few windows punctuate the remaining elevations. A review of the 1920 crop plan suggests that a portion of this building may have been created from a former hog barn. The structure would appear to have reached its current appearance by the 1930s, as evidenced on the 1937 aerial view." -"Peck Farm-Kohler Improvement Company Farm", Prepared by Traci E. Schnell, (2016). |
