PAIRED BRACKETS UNDER EAVES, SCROLL WORK ON PORCH, FIELDSTONE QUOINS [Date Cnst:-1860]. 2005- "This two-story-tall L-plan Italianate style farmhouse is known as the Elam Beardsley House and it has walls that are made of cobblestones and trimmed with dressed stone and it displays a high degree of integrity, is beautifully maintained, and was listed in the NRHP in 1982 as an outstanding example of cobblestone construction. Only a single outbuilding that was originally associated with the house is still extant today, this being a gable-roofed barn having walls made out of fieldstone, which is located to the rear and to the south of the house, and this building was not listed in the NRHP when the nomination was written alhough it probably would be today." - "Mukwanago and Waterford 7.5 Quads", WisDOT ID #1300-09-00, Prepared by Timothy F Heggland (MAP) (2005). 2012- "The Elam Beardsley farmhouse was constructed circa 1855 in the Italianate style. The principal mss of the house is a 2- story L-shaped block with an asphalt shingle, hipped roof, cobblestone exterior walls and limestone quoins. A 1-story rectangular mass extends from the rear of the house with an asphalt shingle, gable roof and clapboard siding. The front elevation faces southwest and is asymmetrical in plan. In the eave line, a wide band trim with paired brackets is continuous around the principal mass. The north portion of the southwest elevation projects forward from the remainder of the house with two long, narrow windows are set evenly at the first and second level, those at the first level being longer than those above. In the ell portion of the southwest facade, two rectangular windows are set in the second story immediately above the 1-story, asphalt shingle, hipped roof porch, which spans the length of the ell. The scroll work and paired brackets adjoined to paired posts support the porch. Underneath, the entrance into the ell contains matching scroll work. Another entrance is located in the wall perpendicular to the ell. Two long, narrow windows are set below the porch parallel to those in the second story above." - "STH 83, Mukwanago and Waterford 7.5 Quads", WisDOT ID #1300-09-71, Prepared by GLARC, Inc (Megan Daniels) (2012).
