| Additional Information: | 2022 - This property includes a vernacular gabled ell house, a detached garage, and a machine/equipment shed. The two-story house was last surveyed in 1990 and maintains a similar appearance. It has a stone and concrete foundation, vinyl siding with shingles in the gables, and an asphalt-shingled roof. The primary façade appears to be the north elevation facing Freistadt Road. At the corner of the gable and ell is an enclosed entry porch with a shed roof and sliding door. The front gable has two one-over-one windows on each story. Similar windows are found on the other elevations, some of which are modern replacements. On the west, Wasaukee Road elevation is a central gabled bay with a jetty (a projecting second story). The south, rear elevation has a gabled ell form like the façade, but with an enclosed porch/sunroom across the width of the ell.
South of the house is a side-gabled detached three-car garage with vinyl siding and modern paneled sectional doors. East of the house is a 1.5-story side-gabled machine/equipment shed with vertical wood board siding, sliding doors, and a central gabled wall dormer.
