See also the Martha Wheelock House (AHI #18363).
"This Second Empire style residence is associated with two prominent residents. Wadsworth G. Wheelock was a local crockery manufacturer. He died in 1897. George Sutherland, who resided here 1898-1935, was a lawyer and President of Bower City Bank. The house has a slate covered mansard roof, and is constructed of cream brick burned in Edgerton. In addition to the mansard roof--there are few in Janesville--Second Empire features include a projecting central entry pavilion with an elegant portico, and heavy limestone window surrounds. Decorative moldings, including a rope molding on the curved pediment of the porch, were used extensively." The Courthouse Hill Historic District: A Guide, Janesville Historic Commission, 1997.
