| Additional Information: | A 'site file' 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. The tobacco stripping house was constructed in its current form in about 1910, though historic photos suggest that the frame portion of the building may have been constructed earlier and raised up on its existing foundation c.1910. The building is rectangular in plan with a raised, rock-faced concrete block foundation, clapboard walls, and an asphalt-shingled gable roof. The west elevation contains two glass-block windows in the raised foundation wall, above which is located a pedestrian-scale door of vertical board construction and a boarded-over window opening at the main level. A set of wood stairs that provided access to this door were removed sometime between about 1930 and 1960. The north elevation contains a small single-pane window in the raised foundation wall, a sliding window at the main level, and a square opening containing a hinged board door below the gable. The stripping house’s east elevation contains a 6-pane window in the raised foundation wall and a 6-over-6 window at the main level. The south elevation contains a glass-block window in the raised foundation wall and an adjacent recessed, concrete stairwell and doorway that provide access to the building’s lower level. The building’s interior consists of a concrete-floored lower level where tobacco leaves were stripped from the plant and bundled for sale and a single open room at the upper level which served as a granary.
