| Additional Information: | This intact American Foursquare farmhouse (VE26/17) appears to have been constructed in the first decade of the twentieth century and the farmstead also contains at least four other historic farm outbuildings including a large wood gable roof dairy barn, an atypical gable roof corn crib building, two smaller gable-roofed outbuildings and a two-story building of unknown function (VE26/15,16). 1995- "Farmstead, VE26/15-17. This 80-acre farmstead is the only largely complete historic farmstead that was found in the APE or the project area and it is now owned by Harlan & Gloria Rude. Previous to their ownership it was owned by Peter and Gladys (Christopherson) La Void (aka Lavold) during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1930, the farm was owned by the Lind Bros., in 1915 by Carl and Josephine Berg, and in 1896 by T. Finkel. Stylistic evidence suggests that the house was built in the first decade of this century so it may have been built for either Finkel or the Bergs, both of whom owned 120 acres, but an attribution to either is still conjectural. The farmstead features a largely intact clapboard-clad hip-roofed American Foursquare style farmhouse that has one-over-one light double hung windows. Its dominant feature is a full-width open front porch on the south-facing main facade that has solid balustrades built of rock-faced concrete block. Behind the house is a large frame construction gable-roofed dairy barn that has shed-roofed additions along the full length of both its east and west-facing side elevations. Four much smaller frame construction historic outbuildings are located to the east of the dairy barn. These include: a one-story gable-roofed corn crib building of atypical design; two smaller one-story gable-roofed clapboard-sided buildings; and a one-and-a-half or two-story medium-sized gable-roofed clapboard-clad building whose main facade faces south and whose age and original function are as yet unknown. Also located just behind (north) of these four buildings is a modern one-story machine shed. Despite being in largely original and very good condition, however, it is not believed that the ordinary design of the house warrants listing in the NRHP and the same reservations apply to the outbuildings and to the complex as a whole. In addition, it also remains to be seen whether or not this complex is actually located within the APE for Option 4." - "USH 14 Transportation Study ", WisDOT ID #1646-07-00, Prepared by Timothy F Heggland (1995). |
