| Additional Information: | Previously surveyed in 1995. Locally designated by the City of Wauwatosa as part of the Rockway-Brookside Historic District (2012). 2025 - This Tudor Revival house was constructed in 1929. With a primary elevation that faces north, this two-story house is asymmetrically arranged, featuring a hipped roof with projecting gables and open eaves with exposed rafter tails. Multiple cladding materials characterize this house, including areas of half-timbering, limestone veneer, and decorative brickwork. The primary entrance is located near the center of the elevation, within a two-story gabled projection. The first story of the entry bay is clad in limestone, while the second contains cross-hatched brick within timbered panels. A round-arched doorway is located in a rectangular surround with a label drip mold above, accessible via a concrete stoop bordered by limestone knee-walls. The second story of the entry bay is overset slightly and supported by triangular wooden brackets. A multi-paned casement window fronted by a wrought-iron balconet is found above. To the left of the entrance is a bowed bay with five window openings, each containing a 6-over-6 double hung sash. A front-gabled projection oversets the bowed bay, supported by wooden brackets and clad in stucco half-timbering. A segmental arched window opening containing multi-paned casement sashes is centered in the gable. The area to the right of the entrance is clad in random-coursed limestone, with a grouping of three multi-paned double-hung sashes on the first story, each with a rough-cut sone sill and a single wooden beam at the lintel level above. Fenestration of the second story extends through the open eaves, consisting of a pair of 6-over-6 double hung sashes in a plain wooden surround. A prominent chimney clad in limestone is located on the eastern elevation. |
