| Additional Information: | September 2020: The resource is surrounded by woodlands with the Bad River to the east of the resource. #242161 encompasses a dwelling, an outbuilding that currently serves as an art gallery, and two sheds. The dwelling is a circa 1930 Craftsman style bungalow with a cross-gabled roof. The one and a half story dwelling is clad in stucco and has an asphalt shingle clad roof, with cedar shingles on the eastern gable end. A hipped-roof front porch is supported by tapered square wood columns resting on stone pedestals. Replacement vinyl windows are found throughout, including large bay windows flanking a replacement, single oval light door, which provides the primary entrance on the façade. The east end of the original porch is now uncovered and trimmed with a circa 1950 a cast iron balustrade. The dwelling’s foundation consists of stone, pierced by frosted glass block windows lighting the raised basement. Located north of the dwelling is a circa 2000 garage with a front gabled roof and vinyl siding that has been converted to use as a gallery. The south elevation contains a garage door and two entryways, a single vinyl door with nine upper lights to the east, and ten-paned sidelights flanking a ten-light door. There are two additional, smaller garages located behind the large gallery structure. Each one is a rounded roof, ribbed metal structure with a garage door. None of the outbuildings contemporary with the dwelling remain and were razed prior to 1965 (USDA 1939, NETROnline 2020). |
