| Additional Information: | 2 STORY FLAT ROOF PORTION W/BRACKETED EAVES. PORCH W/UNUSUAL SUPPORTS AND SCROLLCUT BRACKETS & CUT WORK EAVES. MOULDED LINTELS. TRANSOMED DOORS. ORIGINALLY CLAD IN CLAPBOARDS, THE BUILDING WAS RESIDED IN VINYL BETWEEN 1990 AND 2003. Resurveyed in 2009. No alterations. "Hotel Wausaukee/Graphic Impressions was built in 1889. It is a two-story building with an addition added to the north shortly after it was built. The original portion is front-gabled, and the addition has a flat roof with a low false-front parapet with bracketed eaves. A full-width one-story porch runs along the front and is raised above sidewalk grade approximately 3 ft. The porch roof is supported on square posts with small scrolled brackets, and the railing consists of simple square balusters. Four windows and three doors alternate across the first story, and five windows (in three different sizes) are present in the second story. All windows and doors are modern replacements, and the two large first-story paired windows with transoms have been partially covered with wood panels/ The windows maintain their original surrounds. The building was originally clad in clapboard but was completely resided in vinyl between 1990 and 2003. Access to the interior of the building was not obtained during the survey. As visible through the windows, the first floor appears to consist of recently remodeled rooms and does not appear to retain any of the character-defining spaces or decorative elements typically associated with late 19th century hotels or boarding houses." Resurveyed in 2013. No visible alterations. |
