Additional Comments
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.

This frame house stands two stories plus attic and is capped by a gable roof. The first story is clapboard, the second story is shingled and the attic gable is covered with a panelled surface (raised and recessed squares). Extending the width of the facade is a one story porch, partially enclosed. The vestibule area is marked by a pedimented gable roof, the open porch with simple frame arches adjoins this.

This house is based on a plan from Robert Shoppell, a New York architect who operated a mail order blue print service. This house is noted as Shoppell plan #190 in Shoppell's Modern Houses.
