| 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. This house, built in 1854 [A], is one of the oldest known standing frame houses in the City. It originally fronted Walker Street, but was moved to the back of its lot and turned to face South 3rd Street. A Guide to Historic Walker's Point, 1978: "A native of Fort Ann, New York, Howard arrived in Milwaukee in 1836. Having spent his early life on the Erie Canal, he worked in Milwaukee as a laborer on various cargo ships and died in 1881. In 1884, the property passed into the hands of the Lindemanns, a German immigrant family that had settled in Milwaukee in 1863. The building, which rests on a brick foundation, is a one-and-a-half frame Greek Revival house. The entrance has sidelights and carefully scaled pilasters and entabulature." |
