New section added: Recent Renovation (2021–2024)

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I added a new section documenting a recent renovation of the main farmhouse. I want to be transparent about where this information comes from so other editors can evaluate it fairly.

My grandfather is personally acquainted with the individual who owns and now lives in the home. The owner hired my grandfather, a carpenter, to assist with the renovation, and through that connection my grandfather arranged for my mother to assist with smaller tasks such as painting and puttying. I accompanied my mother during this work and was present at the property myself multiple times. To my knowledge we were there roughly between December 2022 and April 2023. I also visited the property I think as early as 2021 when my grandfather first showed us around, at which point the home was still in a visibly run down state with bare stone walls and nothing inside.

From what I personally know; Prior to renovation the home had stood vacant and deteriorating for years, bare inside with unadorned stone walls. By late 2022 the interior had been given a completely new floor plan, with very little resemblance to the layout shown in the historic photographs. The interior was finished with modern drywall, natural wood flooring, and natural wood kitchen cabinetry, it did feel surprisingly spacious, the bedrooms on the top level looked really nice with the large, low to the ground windows. Historic features deliberately preserved include the original exterior stone walls, an exposed structural ceiling beam on the first floor, and a tree stump embedded in the first floor. Exterior additions include a new front porch, back patio, and a three-car garage built adjacent to the home.

Also, a huge old tree at the front of the house was removed, I'm positive the front lawn now has a little garden where the tree once was.

The owner now fully lives there as a private residence. I recognize this is firsthand/personal knowledge rather than a published source, which I know is not ideal for Wikipedia. If any editor can help locate a citable source such as a local news article or Dane County permit records, that would greatly strengthen this section. I am open to discussion if anyone has any questions about how this beautiful historic house stands today! Paxpp (talk) 19:12, 17 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
