| Additional Information: | This structure is a surviving example of pre-Civil War farm architecture; Jaeger was a farmer. Built as a five sided polygon it appears when first approached as an octagon house. The house was moved from its original crossroads location when Beloit Rd. was widened. A dance hall has been added to the building and the verandah removed. |
