Additional Comments

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 Oshkosh architect, William Waters was well versed in a number of styles and was capable of combining elements and materials in a creative manner. The massing of this frame house (two stories plus attic) shows a greater formality than the Queen Anne style, suggesting influence of the Colonial Revival; a cylindrical bay rises on the facade but does not break the profile of the Main gable. This mass is carefully balanced by an inset dormer. Another interesting feature is the stone Romanesque entrance. Although this design appears eclectic, it is well composed and nicely detailed. Ideson was the Secretary of the Paine Lumber Co. It is also very interesting that he served a term as Mayor during the woodwork strike of 1898 which was largely directed against his company. Ideson was responsible for calling in the National Guard during that incident.
