Property Features
This house once stood in a pastoral setting overlooking the Baraboo Bluffs and the Baraboo Valley. Tuttle built his home in the Gothic Revival style, considered an ideal architectural expression for rural estates in the mid-nineteenth century. The house has characteristic board-and-batten walls. Small wooden finials and bargeboards pierced by diamonds, ovals, and stars accentuate the eaves of the steeply-pitched, cross-gabled roof. Paired wooden columns and foliated wooden pendants embellish the full-width front porch. The building's lines are emphatically angular: notice especially the diamond-shaped louvered vents, the triangular hoods above the second-story windows, and the zigzag moldings underneath. Since wooden details like these showcased the skills of the carpenter, the architectural subtype expressed here was often called Carpenter's Gothic. A two-stall privy in the side yard mimics the design of the house.
