Property Features
2017- "The subject property is located at 10 STH 64, in the unincorporated village of Houlton, St. Joseph Township, St. Croix County, Wisconsin, approximately 500 feet east from the eastern bank of the St. Croix River and the Stillwater Lift Bridge (Minnesota Bridge 4654). Residential properties of Houlton are located to the northeast, east, and southeast of the area. The subject property features a house (AHI No. 233426), warehouse (AHI No. 233425), stone and concrete-block foundation remnant that may have been part of a single former outbuilding, and a stone-lined drainage ditch. The house and warehouse are sited on a cleared, flat plot of land. The property is immediately encircled by Kolliner Park land, which is owned by the City of Stillwater. Based on current county parcel data, the driveway, warehouse, and drainage ditch are located on Kolliner Park land while the house and foundation remnant is on a separate parcel (see the accompanying historic boundary map). The park is a wooded, largely undeveloped, discontinuous parcel. The property is accessed by a driveway, demarcated by a simple metal gate at STH 64. The driveway leads to the warehouse, and the house is sited east of the warehouse separated by concrete slab patio space. The foundation remnant is located east of the house amongst the surrounding trees, while the stone-lined drainage ditch is located south of the other three resources.
