| Additional Information: | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation. Property was moved to its current location in 2001. Originally was located at 4943 Washington St. in Butte des Morts. The previously inventoried resource is a two-story front gabled building with an enclosed wrap porch on a concrete foundation. The cabins date to 1907-1908, with additional construction dates in 1922 and 1938. The lower porches surround the building and feature pocket windows and a hipped roof. The upper cabin features additional windows and a front gabled roof with wide eaves and knee brackets. The house has been resided in vinyl siding with a standing seam metal roof. The cabins were constructed in 1907-1908 for the steamer Leander Choate, built by the George Ryan shipyard in Oshkosh. The steamer operated on Lake Winnebago until 1918. In 1922, the hull was lengthened and rebuilt into the Valley Queen. The cabins were installed onto a foundation in 1922. The porches were enclosed in 1938, and the building was moved to Winneconne in 2001.1 The Steamboat House exhibits substantial alterations. The hull is no longer present; the cabins have been rebuilt into their current configuration; the roof has been converted to a gable roof; and the porches have been enclosed. Further, the building has replacement siding and has been moved. |
