Additional Comments

A 'site file' exists for this property named 'Freitag Homestead'. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Built in 1906 on the west (uphill) side of the old highway that passed by the farmstead. In 2005 a flight of concrete steps still lead from the old highway up to the house. House is assymetrical in appearance, cruciforma in plan and 2 stories tall. Design is an excellent example of the "hipped roof with lower cross gables" subtype of the Queen Anne style identified by Virginia and Lee McAlester in "A Field Guide to American Houses." In this instance the design consists of a hip-and-gable-roofed main block with a polygonal, 2-story, gabled ell on its south elevation, and a rectilinear, 2-story, gabled ell on its north elevation. The house rests on a cut-stone foundation consisting of dressed, rock-faced limestone blocks. Foundation is crowned by a beveled stone water table. The exterior walls are clad in red brick and support a wide encircling frieze board below the deep, overhanging boxed eaves that encircle the house.
