The foundation of the basement barn is concrete block pierced by regularly spaced, glass block windows. The upper story is clad in ribbed metal and the pointed arch roof is clad in standing seam metal. A single Dutch-door entrance is centered in the basement level of the west gable end. The Edwin Sedevie Farmstead stands on either side of County Road G in the northeast quarter of Section 34 in the Town of Washington, La Crosse County. The farmstead includes a historic-age house (246108), smokehouse (246109), tobacco barn (246110), garage (246111), and small animal barn (246112) all constructed prior to 1938 as well as a basement barn (246113), small animal barn (246114), hay barn (246115), and machine shed (246116) constructed after 1963 and after the dams in the Coon Creek Watershed were completed. Edwin Sedevie, a first generation Bohemian American, owned and operated the farmstead from at least 1900-1930. The farmstead is associated with Bohemian settlement in the Town of Washington, La Crosse County which became known as Bohemian Valley or Bohemian Coulee. The Farmstead is further associated with agricultural practice of combined dairy production and tobacco cultivation in the Coon Creek Valley and the broader Northern Tobacco District. |
