| Additional Information: | BUILT BETWEEN 1876 AND 1879. "Many of the houses on West Liberty Street were constructed for or purchased by Civil War veterans. An interesting example is this house, originally built for Alva and Eva Snashall. It was subsequently purchased and expanded by Anthony Richardson, a veteran of the 42nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the war. Mr. Richardson was an African-American, born in slavery in Kentucky. He escaped before the Civil War began, and made his way to Wisconsin as a young man before enlisting in the Union cause."
