| Additional Information: | 2017 WisDOT survey - The property is located on the northwest corner of Main and 13th Streets in an east-side residential neighborhood in the city of Menomonie. The two-story ell-type house has an irregular footprint, formed by a T-plan cross-gable core, expanded by a rear wing, and a one-story circular tower with a conical roof at the building’s southeast corner that gives it a slight Queen Anny influence. The roof is sheathed in asphalt shingles. The exterior walls are clad in clapboard siding with wood shingles applied to the tower and porch. A one-story porch is on the side-gable component of the façade. The first story of the porch is open and has a half-hipped roof. The second story is a glazed sunroom, likely once a sleeping porch, with a front-gable roof and a slightly smaller footprint. The front door is accessed from the open porch. Windows on the house are six-over-one replacement units that are topped by a pediment molding. A detached garage is located north of the house. |
