Notes
  • Significance: This building is an especially interesting example of a type of half-timber construction built by early German settlers in Wisconsin and known in Germany as Fachwerkbau. It is the only building of this type in the area where the house and barn were designed and constructed as a single unit. In addition, the construction is of interest in that a great number of the panels filling-in between the half-timber members are formed of vertical oak staves daubed with clay and straw and parged with plaster. It is assumed that this was probably the earlier construction for this type of building and that the more usual brick nogging was a later replacement. It is also thought that the plan as well as the steeper roof pitch and silhouette may indicate a different European provenance.
