| 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. 1994: This is a gable-roofed, clapboard clad, Queen Anne residence. The structure was probably originally built as a front gable residence c. 1870s with a centered gable wing added to the north, at which time the Queen Anne bargeboards were probably added in the gables of both the original structure and the addition. At a later time a one-story addition was appended to the rear of the wing. The structure features a bay window, a shed-roofed front porch supported by turned post and brackets, and finials on the roof. The second story windows of the front gable main block feature wooden pediments above 4/4 double hung sash windows, supporting the idea that this section was built first, c. 1870s and the Queen Anne detailing added probably c. 1890s. Several outbuildings are located on the property, including a gambrel-roofed bank barn, two structural clay tile silos with shake shingle conical roofs and finials, a pumphouse of rough-faced concrete block, two small structures which are probably outhouses, and a small shed-roofed structure which is likely a chicken shed. Four gabled-roofed, vertical board siding sheds are also located on the property. The residence was built for either Julius of W. Strusinsky (Strazinski, Stravensky, Strusinske). Julius Strusinky owned the property by 1873 and it has been kept in the family ever since. |
