| 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-Public History. A fairly typical collegiate Gothic treatment appears in brick school building. End pavilions project slightly and are emphasized by greater use of tapestry brick detailing. The central entrance is articulated by a somewhat flat hood supported by consoles. |
