A low-pitched side gable enclosed porch spans the length of the front facade and features simple wood-framed screens and square supports with a stone knee wall. A two-story bay is located on the side (south) elevation and a one story bay is located on the other side (north) elevation.

The property was sold to William Peterson, Executive Secretary for the Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce, in 1947. The property was purchased by Robert Shorey, principal and insurance salesman, in 1952. At some point the house was converted into a duplex." -"CTH A: Madison St to Grant St", WisDOT#3638-00-72/73, Prepared by Mead & Hunt, Inc., (2016). |
