| Additional Information: | This is a well-preserved high-style building in a small community on the shore of Lake Butte des Morts. The Period Colonial Revival building features a classical entrance with pilasters, sidelights and a denticulated pediment. Its siding is wood shingle, and the gable roof supports three dormers on the building's front. The one-stall garage is attached to the house and continues the Period Colonial Revival theme. It has a dormer on its front facing and, like the house, has wood-shingle siding. Also on this property are a one-story building once used as a summer cottage and one-story building once used as a pump house. The cottage is immediately adjacent to the lake and features a hip roof with flared eaves, brackets, clapboard siding and low-slung, hip-roofed dormer. It has a covered porch on the lake side. The pumhouse is located immediately on the lake and was once used to pump water from the lake to the house. The small building has a multi-gabled roof and drop siding and retains its wooden doors and wood-framed windows divided into 12 lights. This is the only known historic pump house surveyed in Butte Des Morts. |
