NOTES
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 2.5-story residence has elements of Queen Anne and Neoclassical styles. The symmetrical mass and pedimented gables with central three-panel windows are Classical Revival. The open wrap-around porch with decorative pediment, two-story projecting bays, and decorative center windows are often seen in late Queen Anne homes. Lumberyard owner Herbert Meyers built this home, which features a variety of hardwood floors and trim. This home was a funeral parlor for many years, but is currently a single-family residence."
