| Additional Information: | 2021: Appearance unchanged. House has attached garage. 2022 WisDOT survey information: Situated on a corner lot, this large two-and-one-half-story house exhibits both Tudor Revival and French Provincial characteristics. Topped with a steeply pitched, hipped roof covered in slate, the house is sheathed with a variety of materials including stone veneer, stucco and half-timber finish, as well as patterned brickwork set within half-timber framework. The home’s entrance elevation faces west and the entrance is set within a front-facing gabled projection and consists of a smooth stone surround with label mold header. The upper level of the entrance gable is detailed with brick and half-timber finish around a pair of double-hung sash. First-floor windows, located to either side of the door, consists of groupings of three and four multiple-light windows. Round-arched wall dormers are located on both the north and west elevations of the house, the latter carrying paired one-over-one-light sash, while the former include singular sash examples. The side/north elevation is dominated by a large gabled wall dormer projection with stucco and half-timber finish that sits atop a first-floor bay window. The house includes an attached three-car garage. Built in 1937 at an approximate cost of $15,000, this was the home of Gerald P. and Eileen Hayes. The architect is not identified on the permit; however, the contractor is listed as Helmuth Luedke. Gerald Hayes was born in Marshfield in 1894; he married Eileen Markey in 1921 and together they had at least eight children. Gerald worked as an attorney. Also in residence as of 1940 was Gerald’s widowed father and a live-in maid. The Hayes’ remained in the house until sometime between 1952 and 1955, by which time the house was occupied by architect John J. Brust (of the firm Brust & Brust) and his wife Marjorie. |
