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. This house is architecturally significant as a fine example of the Queen Anne style. Highly restored by current owner Paul Tyvand, the house has a high degree of integrity, with almost all of its historic features intact. Especially impressive is the outstanding veranda with its large columns and intact capitals. This house, with its emphasis on irregularity in its plan is a formal and elegant version of the style. |
