NOTES
Additional Information:This house is a well-preserved example of the Tudor Revival style - one of the period revival styles of the early twentieth century. The house has two stories, with a lower level of stone veneer and an upper half timbering of stucco and stickwork. The house has a rectangular form with a front projecting gable. The entrance sits behind a round-arched stone veneer opening. The entry door is also round-arched and constructed of wood. A large chimney rises from the entrance.

John Glenn McWilliams was a lawyer; he and his wife were both natives of Wisconsin.
