| Additional Information: | DESCRIPTION This small gable ell house has one and one-half stories with a low-pitched gable roof and clapboard siding. Windows are small single-pane or two-over-two light double-hung sashes. ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SIGNIFICANCE Because of its pre-Civil War construction date its overall massing, though, this house may have a log or half-timber structural system. Due to the abundance of log and half-timber buildings in Mequon, it is suggested that further investigation of this house's structrual system be undertaken.
