| Additional Information: | 2015- "Martin Moely House - This is a two and one-half story frame, clapboard sided cross-gable house with one-over-one sash windows, and limestone foundation. It appears to have been built circa 1900, and is a typical, vernacular form farmhouse. The house maintains a high degree of integrity of materials, location, setting, design, workmanship, feeling and association. Martin Moely, born in Sauk County in 1866 to Swiss immigrant parents, Moely purchased the former Joseph Johnson farm in 1894. He was considered a successful farmer, eventually farming 400 acres, raising livestock, including dairy cattle. He was a stockholder in the Farmer’s Creamery in Sumpter. The consultant did not view the interior of this house.
