| Additional Information: | 2000: "This Centennial farm consists of four structures; a house, barn, silo and garage. Regarding the two-story house, its original gabled ell for has been altered by the addition of a one-story wing to the north and a shed-roof porch enclosure to the rear. As well, the entire structure has been resheathed with vinyl siding and all the windows are nondescript, one-over-one, double-hung sashes. A ca. 1880s, gambrel-roof bank barn with a fieldstone foundation and board siding is situated at the east end of the parcel. A concrete stave silo with a metal cap rests at the southeast corner of the barn. A three-car garage with additional living space is situated west of the house (this was perhaps an original farm outbuilding). An addition was added to the west and, like the house, it is also sheathed with vinyl. Plats indicate that this 40-acre parcel was owned by A. Friess no later than 1859. A house is depicted on the property no later than 1873 (it is possible, however, that some portion of the extant house was built prior to 1873). The property passed to Nic Friess by 1915. By 1919, P. Fassbender owned the parcel; however, a decade later, plats note the Peter Rademacher held it. Rademacher retained the property into at least the 1960s, but by 1966, the original forty acres had been carved into no less than four parcels." |
