| Additional Information: | DESCRIPTION This large gambrel-roofed barn has board siding, large sliding doors, and a fieldstone foundation. On one side the entrance is banked. There are some irregularly placed small sash windows punctuating the building. Also on this property are two silos. The first, older one, is constructed of fieldstone and is a short large conical structure with a conical roof. Projecting from the roof are three gabled-roofed dormers with sash windows. The other silo is a taller, narrower concrete silo. ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SIGNIFICANCE The barn has some architectural interest as an example of a gambrel-roofed barn in Mequon. The concrete silo is typical of the older concrete-constructed silos seen in Mequon. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND This barn and silo were probably built for Walter Corrigan, who owned the property in 1890s.
