Significance: This typical example of the Greek Revival type of architecture was built by an Englander who settled first in the eastern states before he emigrated to Milwaukee. Unlike many structures of this period, it is but one story in height. There is little more that can be said of this as an example of early day work, as it speaks for itself.
