520 South Baird Avenue Joseph LaFramboise-James Hanchett House. This one-and-one-half-story frame bungalow is finished with narrow clapboards and sits on a random, rock-faced stone foundation. There is a gabled dormer, with exposed rafters and brackets with knee braces, on the front slope of the roof. The main block of the house also has exposed rafters and brackets with knee braces. The cutaway front porch has closed rails and heavy rectangular piers, all finished with narrow clapboards. The windows are wood, four-over-one, double-hung sash. This bungalow was built in 1920 (City of Rhinelander Tax Rolls; Rhinelander City Directories). The first resident was Joseph LaFramboise (occupation unknown). From 1923 until at least 1944, it was the home of James Hanchett (Rhinelander City Directories). Hanchett owned a grocery on Brown Street from at least 1911 until at least 1927 (Rhinelander City Directories). The current owner, Edward Popsychala, has lived in the house since at least 1956 (Rhinelander City Directories). The detached garage to the rear was built in 1988 (City of Rhinelander Building Permit). |
