Paul Kuehl House Listed in the National Register of Historic Places

PLATTEVILLE, Wis. – The Paul Kuehl House in Grant County was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 19, 2026. The single-family residence was constructed in 1937 in the Tudor Revival style and is highlighted with Rustic style features.

Paul Kuehl House is the only known example of the Tudor Revival style in the city of Platteville by the owner and engineer Paul Kuehl. It stands as a distinctive and intact example of the style. Characteristics include broad and dramatic, steeply-pitched rooflines that extend close to the ground; a wood-and-glass, round-arched front door; and original large, multi-pane, metal-frame windows that incorporate paired casements.

The residence is a unique design incorporating Rustic style features. Like the Tudor Revival style, the Rustic style was popularized through the first half of the 20th century by the Civilian Conservation Corps and initially developed by the National Park Service. The Kuehl House is highlighted by a rough-cut, semi-coursed stone wall cladding laid in long, narrow bands and defining the fenestration; wood shingles located within the gable ends and along dormer side walls; and the use of natural materials and textures as an alternative to superficial decorative detailing.

The Paul Kuehl House is a private home and is not open to the public. Please respect the privacy of the property owner.
