| Additional Information: | Two-Story-Cube form former farmhouse is clad in clapboard. Square plan. appears to still retain its largely original front porch (the balustrade is now missing), and has a one-story wing attached to its east side that has is clad in drop siding and has an inset front porch of its own. This wing also appears to be largely intact and may be slightly older than the main block. There is also a former farm outbuilding associated with this property that has a separate AHI #135881. 2005- Farmhouse intact. Facade appears to retain its original one-story, full-width, open front porch. Hipped roof still appears to be supported by original turned wood columns. One story, gable-roofed wing attached to east elevation. All but one (AHI #125881) of the farm outbuildings believed to have once been associated with this house have been demolished. Property is located on a triangular parcel of land that is encircled by US Hwy 53 and St. Hwy 95. WisDOT plans appear to suggest that reconstruction of the US Hwy 53 - STH95 intersection will result in the property being either moved or demolished. Online research (MAP) in 2018 found that all of these buildings and the house associated with this farmstead have now been demolished. The house was demolished between 2005 and 2008. |
