Additional Information: | Surveyed in 2023 by UWM-CRM as part of the CTH U / S. 76th St. reconstruction project. The property currently contains a cross-gabled Queen Anne-style house (AHI #246141), built around 1890; a three bay garage (AHI #246142), built around 1900; and a small hipped-roof, one bay garage (AHI #246144), built around 1920. Based on historic aerial imagery dating from 1937 to the present, the property formerly contained five additional outbuildings north and east of the house and large garage. By 2007, these outbuildings had begun to collapse, and by 2013, only the foundations remained visible. This three-bay garage is clad in clapboards and has a gabled roof with three-tab shingles. The garage retains its historic three-leaf doors, each leaf of which has a paneled lower section topped with a four-light windows. The garage is currently partly obscured by vegetation and was only partially visible. The garage is located north of the house, across the main gravel driveway. Based on its design and materials, the garage was probably constructed around 1900 and may have served as a machine shed for the former farmstead buildings as well. |
