PORCHES IN ELLS W/SQUARE DORIC COLUMNS AND DENTILLED EAVES. 7 De Soto Street This two-story, frame, Queen Anne house appears to have been built circa 1890. It was moved to this site in 1955 for Agnes Verage (City of Rhinelander tax rolls). Verage, who served as Oneida County Clerk for many years, apparently did not live in the house, but rented it out. She acquired the lot in 1940 (Oneida County deeds, 202:488). The house features a paneled, polygonal bay, bargeboards, a window surround with a sunburst motif, and two small porches on the front facade. The porch that shelters the main entrance has Stick Style elements, including posts with cutouts, and a cutout frieze. The front door features sidelights and a sunburst motif over the door. The second front porch has plain posts, but is enriched with dentils. |
