| Additional Comments |
This one-story Astylistic Utilitarian form animal barn was built in 1931 to house additional stables for race horses competing at the fairgrounds. The barn has a concrete pad foundation, drop siding-clad walls, and eleven stalls. 1995- "'Th1s one-story 80-toot-long x 25-toot-wide Astylistic Utilitarian form building has a rectilinear plan and a metal-covered gable root whose ridgeline runs north-south and whose wide, overhanging eaves shade the side elevations ot the building. This barn was built in 1931 to supplement the number of stalls that were available in the older building (No. l) that is located just to Its west. The barn has a concrete pad toundation, its walls are clad in clapooards, and it has eleven stalls that open directly to the outside. This building is believed to be in largely original condition and is a contributing element in the district." - "USH 14 Transportation Study ", WisDOT ID #1646-07-00, Prepared by Timothy F Heggland (1995). |
