Additional Information:ORIGINALLY LOCATED AT 1134 S. MAIN ST.

"Originally a simple four-room farmhouse, the home at 1219 South Main has been attractively altered and enlarged over the years. It was originally located where the Bull Manor Apartments now stand, and moved to its present location in the 1920's. It looks south instead of toward the street, because it once faced an identical house next door." Renewing Our Roots: A Guide To Racine, Wisconsin, Central City, Southside, Preservation-Racine, 1977.
