Additional Comments

A 'site file' exists for this property named 'Ernest Flagg Stone Masonry Houses of Milwaukee County'. 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, State Historic Preservation Office. 1985- One of the Ernest Flagg Stone Masonry Houses of Milwaukee County (listed on NRHP: 9/12/85). This one and one half story Flagg System home faces north and has limestone exteror walls and a steep composition roof. The centrally located tower contains stairs to the second floor. The plan of the house is symmetrical with regular window and door opeinings. It is the smallest of this group of homes and has dimensions of 25 x 48 feet. There are four pairs of ridge dormers, two gable dormers, and one chimney. The living room has a beam and girder ceiling but there is no fireplace. Casement windows open inward over cement sills. The ceiling has been open in the laundry room and furnace room which replaces a basement. There are a pair of ridge dormers over the kitchen. The attic space over the laundry room has drop stairs. The octagonal tower opens off the living room to give access to the second floor which has a bedroom and bath. There is one bedroom downstairs. The upstairs bath is one step up from the level of the hallway. The separate garage is not a significant part of this nomination. This house is architecturally significant because it is one of a group of stone masonry houses built by Arnold F. Meyer & Company, Inc. according to construction methods of Ernest Flagg. It is also significant because it is very similar in plan to the four room cottage described in the April, 1923 issue of "McCall's Magazine" which was designed by Flagg. The Hatch family for whom this house was built was related to the family for which the house on Prospect was built and the two houses are very similar. It is probably the smallest Flagg System house in this thematic nomination.
