GREENE WAS THE SPRING GREEN POSTMASTER FROM 11/5/1857-10/22/1859. 2012- "This previously inventoried Gabled Ell house is located on the south side of East Jefferson Street, immediately west of South Albany Street (Figure 3). Erected ca. 1858,1 the two-story house rises from a stone foundation, faces north and is oriented parallel to East Jefferson Street. The house is finished with narrow board siding. The cross-gable roof is sheathed with asphalt shingles. A large two-story addition and one-story addition extend from the south-facing (rear) fac;ade; both are contemporary but built of complimentary materials. Although complimentary, the additions have somewhat disguised the original Gable Ell form of the house. The fenestration throughout the house includes singlespaced, replacement, double-hung windows. The building's construction displays the influence of the ltalianate style in its heavily molded door and window surrounds, accented with pedimented cornices." - "E Jefferson St, Worcester St to STH 23 (Winstead ST)", WisDOT ID #5916-00-01", Prepared by Rachel E Bankowitz (2012). |
