| Additional Information: | 2007 - "This farmstead consists of a house and several outbuildings, including a barn with a rear addition, modern pole garage, two silos and additional utility buildings. The c.1925 house displays elements of the Craftsman style, such as a low-pitched side gable roof with overhanging eaves, exposed rafters, and decorative brackets. A full-length cut-away porch with squared posts spans the west facade. The one-and-one-half story house is rectangular in form and the roof is covered in asphalt shingles. It is of frame construction, covered in wood clapboard siding and rests on a concrete block foundation. A central gable dormer with a band of three, one-over-one double-hung sash windows extends from the west facade. Replacement one-over-one double-hung sash windows within the original openings are located on each elevation. A c.1900 frame barn with an irregular plan rests on a stone foundation at the northeast corner of the property. It is sheathed in vertical board and supports a metal gambrel roof. The majority of windows are missing. A shed-roof addition is located on the rear elevation of the barn, sheathed in clapboard and plywood. Two silos are situated at opposite sides of the barn; the larger silo at the west side of the barn is missing tiles and is without a cap. Two smaller, partially-collapsed buildings are located at the rear (north) of the property - a small rectangular barn, sheathed in clapboard and covered by an asphalt-shingle gable roof, and a side gable shed sheathed in clapboard. A modern, side gable pole garage sheathed in vertical, vinyl siding rests off the northeast corner of the house." - "Baldwin East", WisDOT ID #1020-09-03, Prepared by Shannon Dolan and Mollie Douglas, Mead & Hunt (2007). |
