2017- "The Anton & Anna Heinzen House is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of S. 1st Avenue and Porter Street in the City of Wausau, Marathon County. Situated on the city's west side, the house is located at the top of a bluff that runs along the west bank of the Wisconsin River. To the north, west and south of the house are single-family and apartment residences that date from the 1910s to the 1940s, many of which exhibit reduced integrity due to the application of modern siding and fenestration. A tall wooden fence on an adjacent parcel runs near the subject lot's west property line. Vehicular access to the property is via driveways from both S. 1st Avenue and Porter Street. The house, which is significantly obscured from the street by heavy foliage, is approximately 22 feet from the current back-of-curb of S. 1st Avenue and approximately 27 feet from the current back-of-curb of Porter Street. The property consists of a house and a garage, both of which are considered to be contributing.

Garage (Contributing, 1918):
This one-car, hipped-roof garage is located at the parcel's southwest corner and is accessed by a driveway that opens onto Porter Street. It is sheathed with a combination of stucco and board-and-batten siding. Two nine-light fixed windows pierce the east facade while a modern overhead garage door occupies the entire north elevation."
