| Additional Information: | Hip roofed two-story house with modillion brackets under broad eaves, arched one-bay entrance and two-story enclosed east porch. Broad roof overhang with modillion brackets under the eaves; arched one-bay projecting entrance with flared facade and decorative brick work in the arch. Two-story enclosed porch constructed as the east end of the main structure, using a common roof; two-story hip roofed rear wing and shed roofed garage. House was originally built in 1859 for A.A. Minor and was remodeled around 1920 for C. Noelke. 2015- "The Minor/Noelke House is an unusual combination of mid-19th century Italianate Style with early 20th century Prairie Style. Built in 1859 for A.A. Minor, this wood frame home had a square mass with low-pitched hip roof, paired brackets under the eaves, tall narrow windows and clapboard siding. The addition to the rear shows similar Italianate elements. Piano dealer Carl Noelke added elements of the Prairie Style in the 1920s. The hip roof was retained and extended to cover a two-story enclosed porch with a row of windows lending a horizontal appearance to the facade. The recessed window frames indicate that the brick exterior was laid over the original wood siding. The modillions under the eaves replaced the original Italianate paired brackets. The most obvious Prairie Style element is the arched entry with tapered corners, a hallmark of Early Modern design." -"La Crosse, Wisconsin: 10th & Cass Residential Historic District Tour", Prepared by Eric J. Wheeler, (2015). |
