| Additional Information: | The playhouse was a birthday present for Mrs. Mary Griggs Burke from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Griggs. It is a miniature one-story frame house with a side-gable roof and multi-pane, six-over-six windows with shutters. The house has a shed covered porch that is enclosed by floor-to-ceiling open lattice work. An interior metal plaque indicates the playhouse is a prefabricated building designed by the E.F. Hodgson Company, an east-coast company that started producing a variety of prefabricated buildings in 1892. A Historic Structure Report of this building can be found in Room 312 at the Wisconsin Historical Society. #1016 #1017 #23508 #147307 #147321 # 147323 #147341 #147342 #147343 #147344 #147345 #147421 #147422 #147423 #147424 |
