Additional Comments

1998- The property at this address is a farmstead encompassing several structures. Among them area 2-story, gabled ell farmhouse with aluminum siding(AHI #0114748), various gabled and shed-roofed outbuildings (AHI #0114666), a ca. 1920-1930 Texaco filling station (AHI #0114749), and a bank barn (this entry). The bank barn is perhaps the most interesting element historically associated with the farmstead. This typology consititutes at least half the barns in Ozaukee County. Germans, who predominated in the area preferred this style of barn. This particular barn, which appears to have been constructed ca. 1894, consists of three sections: a gabled, 2 1/2 story main block built on an east-west axis, a smaller 2-story, gabled granary wing projects from the northeast corner of the main block, and an even smaller 1-story gabled milk house extends from the east side of the main block. All three sections are clad in vertical board siding. the two larger sections are set on raised, 1-story fieldstone foundation. The foundation is similar to that of the farmhouse on the nearby Joachim Schultz farmstead (AHI #0074995). Both the barn's design and its construction were common among German immmigrants. The earliest available plat indicates that Henry tern owned the farmstead in 1892. Although he was a native of Wisconsin, he was of German descent, both his parents having immigrated from Germany. In 1892 his farm included 69.75 acres. The survey for the 1998 WisDOT project concludes that the barn is the only distintive original resource on the farmstead, but despite its good condition its architectural and historic integrity are not sufficient to support NRHP eligibility. "no further study is recommended." 2026: Circa 1894 front gable basement barn (AHI 114907) with side gable ell, metal roof, wood siding, and stone foundation, , circa 1900 concrete silo with concrete cap. Related records: AHI 114666, AHI 114748, AHI 114749, AHI 114907.
