| Additional Information: | This Contemporary-style house appears to be comprised of a two-story wing along the street, a shorter, one-story entrance wing, and a slightly taller block at the rear. The largely brick-faced, street-side wing contains an overhead garage door along the first level, while the upper edge of the second floor features a continuous band of awning windows that runs immediately beneath the overhanging eaves of the flat roof. A rectangular section of board sheathes the garage wing between the overhead door and the windows. Based on the location of the sidewalk, the home's entrance is located in the shorter, mid-section of the home, while a the flat-roofed wing at the rear appears to reflect the styling of the front block. This house was built in 1961 by Robert C. Korosec at an estimated cost of $18,000. Korosec worked as an engineer for the City of West Allis' Department of Public Works; he and his wife Judith resided here until at least 1993. |
