| Additional Information: | Burpee served as Janesville's City Attorney from 1898-1906. "The Brittan House is a good example of the Vernacular Shingle Style in its simple massing, continuous cladding of shingles, and Palladian-motif window. Of particular note is the variety of patterned shingles put to use by the builder, particularly in the gable ends. David Holmes, Treasurer of Blodgett Milling, resided here 1900-1907; he was followed by William B. Conrad, a tobacco merchant."
