Additional Comments

A 'site file' exists for this property. 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. THIS IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF THE DUTCH COLONIAL REVIVAL IN MARSHFIELD AND IS ALSO ONE OF THE CITY'S BEST PERIOD REVIVAL STYLE HOUSES. THE RODDIS FAMILY WAS ONE OF THE CITY'S MOST PROMINENT AS WELL (RODDIS PLYWOOD). "The home, with a porte-cochere and a ballroom on the third floor, was designed by Marshfield architect Gus Krasin in 1914. A large garden area, fruit trees and grapevines are located behind the house and are part of its historic setting. The building rests on a stone foundation, which rises forty inches above the ground. A deep overhanging eave which is edged with classical cornice moulding, projects from the main body of the house at the base of the roof. The eave continues across the gambrel ends delineating the base of the third floor. A central two-story entry bay projects from the main body of the house. The bay is fronted by a flat roofed portico. Hamilton was the head of Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company and showcased his company's wood products in finishing his home's interior. The Roddis family was one of the city's most prominent families." "More Homes of Architectural Interest: Marshfield Historic Driving Tour"
