| 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 structure contributes to the significance of the West Prospect Avenue Historic District as an outstanding example of a mansion-scale eclectic late Victorian house exhibiting features of the shingles and Colonial Revival styles. This original composition illustrates the eclecticism of domestic architecture at the turn of the century during the transition from the picturesque Queen Anne style to the more symmetrical historically-derived styles of the early twentieth century. Additional map codes are: 11/2. Garage. From "Appleton's Historic Old Third Ward Walking Tour" pamphlet, revised 2014 (www.focol.org/oldthirdward): "Turn-of-the-century eclecticism is seen in this late Victorian-era home. The Wolf family owned and operated an Appleton shoe store for more than 80 years." |
