Immanuel Presbyterian Church (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

Immanuel Presbyterian Church is a High Victorian Gothic-styled church built 1873–75 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1974 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, it was designated a landmark by the Milwaukee Landmarks Commission in 1969. Immanuel congregation was formed in 1870, a merger of First Presbyterian Church and North Presbyterian Church, which were founded in 1837 and 1849. By 1873 the merged congregation was ready to build a new church building. The new building was dedicated in 1875, grand and exuberant, with asymmetric square towers, various groupings of lancet windows, and rose windows. The exterior was clad in carefully laid ashlar Wauwatosa limestone, with openings trimmed in red-orange and gray sandstone. The building was designed by E. Townsend Mix, Milwaukee's prominent architect at the time. The vertical emphasis seen in the towers and upward-pointing windows are characteristics of Gothic style, and the use of multiple colors makes it High Victorian Gothic. Inside, the original auditorium was "as bold and colorful as the exterior," with a nave arcade, a vaulted aisle, and "sumptuous ornament." Then on December 31, 1887, during a snowstorm in the night after a choir performed Handel's Messiah, a fire started. It gutted the nave and chancel, collapsed the roof, and damaged the north wing, leaving only the limestone walls. When the auditorium was rebuilt in 1888 and 1889, it was simplified. Art-glass windows designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Co. were added around 1900. In 1937-38 the building was remodeled, with changes to the main vestibule, the chapel, the north wing parlor, and the gallery at the north end of the nave. In 1957-58 the chancel was expanded, the pastor's study and custodian's workshop were added on the south, the pews and pulpit were replaced, and the old wood trim in the auditorium was bleached to match the new pews.

Iowa County Courthouse (Wisconsin)

The Iowa County Courthouse is a stone courthouse in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Built by Cornish immigrants in 1859, it is the oldest courthouse still in use in Wisconsin. The building houses the circuit court and government offices of Iowa County, Wisconsin. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. According to its 1971 NRHP nomination, its stonework is "superb". History The present courthouse is the fourth to serve Iowa County. Three earlier courthouses had stood in Mineral Point. In a November 1858 election, a majority of voters chose to move the county seat to Dodgeville. Work to build the courthouse began in early 1859, with stonework by newly immigrated workmen from Cornwall, England. In the meantime, supporters of Mineral Point brought a lawsuit to contest its loss of the county seat. With the building still under construction on July 11, 1859, the Wisconsin Supreme Court annulled the 1858 county seat referendum on the grounds that insufficient notice had been published. The county continued with the construction of the new building, but its status was uncertain until April 2, 1861, when a new election confirmed voters' choice to make Dodgeville the county seat. The Dodgeville courthouse was quickly put to use, holding a county board meeting on April 23 and a Union Civil War rally on May 2, 1861. The courthouse has undergone several modifications since its construction. The county built additions to the west in 1894 and to the north in 1927 using stone that closely matched the original structure. Owing to deterioration in the woodwork, the front portico was rebuilt in 1937 as a replica of the original. The interior underwent extensive renovation in 1969. The county expanded again with a new annex to the west in 1995. Architecture The courthouse is a two-story Greek Revival temple-style building. It is notable as a unique manifestation of otherwise standard Greek Revival architecture using locally available materials. Local resident Ernest Wiesen drew the plans for the courthouse, likely copying elements from the 1854 book The Modern Architect by Edward Shaw. The exterior walls consist of buff-colored local Galena limestone and the entrances are framed with carved stone pilasters and pediments. The front facade features a portico of four wooden doric columns, which are tilted slightly inward to create an impression of solidity. The roof is surmounted with a small eight-sided cupola and dome. Notes References
Iron Block Building (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

The Iron Block Building is a five-story commercial structure with a cast-iron exterior built in 1860 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1974 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places - the only surviving building in Milwaukee with a cast iron skin - a common technique from 1850 to 1870. History James Baynard Martin moved from Maryland to Milwaukee in 1845, where he dealt in grain and real estate, and served as an insurance executive and banker. By 1860 he was ready to build a large speculative commercial block in downtown Milwaukee. From 1850 to 1870 there was a trend to clad some commercial buildings in cast iron panels. The panels were durable and fire-resistant, and they could be applied to a structure without having skilled stonemasons on site. Martin chose that type of building, and engaged Daniel D. Badger's Architectural Iron Works of New York to design it. George H. Johnson designed the building, panels were cast in New York, they were transported to Milwaukee by boat, and the building was constructed in 1860. Martin's new building was four stories tall with the basement somewhat exposed at the northwest corner - an Italianate-styled design, with round arches above the windows resting on paired decorative columns and iron surfaces deliberately grooved to look like blocks joined with mortar. At the top was a cornice with a shallow pediment in the center. Beneath the cast iron skin, most of the underlying structure is brick and timber. The main street-level entrance suggested the Roman temple, with its own pediment and entablature resting on pairs of Corinthian columns. The building was initially called the Excelsior Block, for the Excelsior Lodge of Masons, whose lodge was on the top floor. At street-level, the building housed four or five shops. Over the years the street-level storefronts have been modified, but the upper stories are largely intact, except that the cornice was cut back and some iron removed. Around 1900 a 5-story brick addition was added on the south side. In 1984 the building was largely restored, both inside and out. The Historic American Buildings Survey considered the Iron Block "notable as one of Milwaukee's most prominent early commercial buildings, as one of the small number of pre-Civil War structures remaining in the central business district, as the city's chief example of the use of the cast-iron front, and as the work of George H. Johnson, the English-born builder-architect who figured so significantly in the development of building technology a century ago."

Lancaster Post Office

The Lancaster Post Office is a historic post office at 236 W. Maple Street in Lancaster, Wisconsin. History The Lancaster Post Office opened in 1938, with George H. Cox serving as its first postmaster. It was one of several Wisconsin post offices built by the Public Works Administration in the 1930s; as the PWA commonly reused building designs, it was nearly identical to the Lake Geneva post office. In 1940, artist Tom Rost painted a mural on the interior as part of the Public Works of Art Project. Rost also painted murals in post offices in Elkhorn, Wisconsin and Paoli, Indiana, and he worked as an artist for the Milwaukee Journal in the 1930s. His mural in Lancaster, titled Farm Yard, depicts farmers working on a large hay wagon alongside chickens and pigs. References

Dr. Samuel Blumer House

The Dr. Samuel Blumer House is a historic house at 112 Sixth Avenue in New Glarus, Wisconsin. History The two-story stone house was built circa the 1850s during the early development of New Glarus. Dr. Samuel Blumer, the first physician in New Glarus, bought the property in 1858; like most of New Glarus' first residents, Blumer was a Swiss immigrant. The house applied elements of the Greek Revival style, such as a front-facing gable with cornice returns, to traditional Swiss stone construction techniques. Abraham Kundert placed a clapboard addition on the house while using it as a hardware store in the 1870s. The house was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

C. D. Hulburt House

The C. D. Hulburt House is a historic house at 1205 13th Avenue in Monroe, Wisconsin. History The house was built in 1878 for Chauncey D. Hulburt, a prominent lumberman who moved to Green County from Onondaga County, New York in 1847. His father, Julius Hulburt, was a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly. The one-and-a-half story house is the only Second Empire house standing in Green County. Hulburt traveled around the world by ship in 1865, and his travels may have inspired his choice of a locally uncommon style. The house's design includes an arched entrance and front window, a three-sided bay window on the front facade, and a mansard roof with ornate wooden dormers. The interior of the house includes carved walnut and maple fixtures and hardwood flooring, befitting Hulburt's occupation. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989. References

Wyoming Valley School

The Wyoming Valley School is a historic school building designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the town of Wyoming in Iowa County, Wisconsin, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History In 1956, the Wyoming school board elected to consolidate its individual schools into one building. As Frank Lloyd Wright's home, Taliesin, was several miles/km away from the proposed site, the school board approached the architect to design their new school building. Wright enthusiastically agreed to do so and donated significant funds to its construction. He would dedicate the assembly room to his mother and her sisters, all of whom were schoolteachers. The building is a one-story elongated hexagon, with two classrooms on the south side of the building. The Great Room on the north side has a fireplace. The Great Room and classrooms have a clerestory. The north side of the building includes two smaller rooms on the east and west sides that contain the kitchen and teacher's lounge, as well as bathrooms. The structure has since been converted into a cultural center. It was added to the state and the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

Confederate Rest

Confederate Rest, in Forest Hill Cemetery, Madison, Wisconsin, is the northernmost Confederate graveyard in the nation. 140 Confederate prisoners of war who died under Union captivity lie in it. History Origins Following the Battle of Island Number Ten, about 1400 Confederate soldiers who surrendered there, many from the 1st Regiment Alabama Infantry, were taken at the end of April, 1862, to the Union training field Camp Randall in Madison, Wisconsin, which was found to be unsuitable, resulting in the deaths of 140 prisoners before the remaining survivors were sent to Camp Douglas (Chicago) at the end of May 1862. Mass grave and reorganization The dead prisoners were interred in a mass grave. In the early years, Alice Waterman, a Madison resident who lived near the cemetery, cared for the burial grounds using her own funds. Later, each deceased was given his own tombstone. Confederate cenotaph removed In January 2019, after a year-long debate, a stone cenotaph etched with the names of the 140 Confederate prisoners of war was removed from the cemetery by the Madison Parks Department and transferred to storage at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum.

Nationalheiligtum Basilika Maria Hilfe der Christen

Das Nationalheiligtum Basilika Maria Hilfe der Christen (Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians) auf dem Holy Hill in Erin, Wisconsin, ist eine römisch-katholische Wallfahrtsstätte, die vom Orden der Unbeschuhten Karmeliten betreut wird. Die 1931 vollendete neuromanische Kirche hat den Rang eines Nationalheiligtums und, seit 2006, einer Basilica minor. Geschichte Die religiöse Bedeutung der seit dem 19. Jahrhundert Holy Hill genannten 410 m hohen Anhöhe westlich des Michigansees soll schon auf die Jesuitenmission des 17. Jahrhunderts zurückgehen. 1858 richteten deutschstämmige katholische Siedler auf dem Gipfel ein 4,60 m großes Eichenholz-Kreuz auf, das bis heute aufbewahrt wird. Es trägt die deutsche Inschrift „Ich bin das Leben. Wer an mich glaubt, wird selig.“ Um 1860 kam der gebürtige Franzose François Soubrio als Einsiedler auf den Hügel. Nach anfänglichem Misstrauen unterstützten ihn die Farmer der Umgebung. Die erste Holzkapelle am Ort mit dem Patrozinium Maria, Hilfe der Christen wurde am 24. Mai 1863 durch den aus Bayern stammenden und in Milwaukee geweihten Priester George Strickner dediziert. In den 1870er Jahren wurden schlichte Kreuzwegstationen aufgestellt und die Zuwegung zum Berg verbessert. 1879/80 wurden eine Backsteinkirche und ein Pfarrhaus mit Gästezimmern gebaut. Die Zahl der Pilger nahm schnell zu. Für die Wallfahrerseelsorge kamen auf Bitten des Erzbischofs von Milwaukee 1906 bayrische Karmeliten (OCD) auf den Holy Hill. In den folgen Jahren entstand das erste Konventsgebäude, später durch das heutige Ensemble ersetzt. 1925 wurde der Chicagoer Architekt Herman Gaul mit den Plänen für eine neue große Wallfahrtskirche beauftragt. Der fertiggestellte Bau wurde am 19. Juli 1931 durch William Richard Griffin, Weihbischof von La Crosse, geweiht. In den 1960er Jahren wurden weitere Gästehäuser und Begegnungsräume geschaffen, außerdem ein Aufzugsturm. In den 1980er Jahren wurden die Außenanlagen neu gestaltet und die Theresien-Krypta neu ausgestattet. Heute kommen jedes Jahr mehrere hunderttausend Pilger zum Marienheiligtum. Jährliche Wallfahrten werden von Bistümern und ethnischen Gruppen durchgeführt. Architektur und Ausstattung Die Wallfahrtskirche vom Holy Hill ist eine neuromanische, dreischiffige Backstein-Basilika mit kurzem Querhaus, Vierungs-Dachreiter und eingezogenem Rechteckchor. Die Portalfassade nach Südwesten ist reich gegliedert und wird von zwei hohen Türmen mit oktogonalem Obergeschoss und Kegelspitze flankiert. Unter der Basilika befindet sich eine der heiligen Teresa von Ávila geweihte Unterkirche. Während diese in den 1980er Jahren modern gestaltet wurde, ist in der Hauptkirche die originale farben- und ornamentfreudige Ausstattung des 19. Jahrhunderts weitgehend erhalten.

Basilique Sainte-Marie-Auxiliatrice d'Erin

La basilique Sainte-Marie-Auxiliatrice est une église située à proximité d’Erin dans l’État du Wisconsin aux États-Unis, que l’Église catholique rattache à l’archidiocèse de Milwaukee. Elle a été nommée basilique mineure par le pape Benoît XVI le 11 juillet 2006, et la Conférence des évêques catholiques des États-Unis l’a désigné sanctuaire national. Historique Les missionnaires jésuites semblent avoir dans la deuxième moitié du XVIIe siècle élevé une croix et consacré un autel sur la colline, et dédié celle-ci à Marie. Cela attire au milieu du XIXe siècle un ermite français, François Soubrio. En 1855, le frère Paulhuber, originaire de Salzbourg (alors dans l’empire d’Autriche), achète le terrain pour le transmettre à l’archidiocèse de Milwaukee, mais il décède avant d’avoir pu ; la transmission se fait finalement en 1876. Un groupe de Chrétiens originaire d’Irlande s’est entretemps implanté, et le lieu prend son nom de « colline sainte » (Holy Hill) pour la consécration de l’autel d’une première église dédiée à Sainte-Marie-Auxiliatrice, le 24 mai 1863. Des pèlerins se rendent en nombre sur le site, et l’archevêque Sebastian Gebhard Messmer (en) décide de le confier à un groupe de Carmes déchaux, à partir du 26 juin 1906. Ils continuent d’administrer le sanctuaire de nos jours. La première pierre de l’église actuelle est posée le 22 août 1926, et la construction est achevée en 1931. Elle est consacrée la même année. Elle devient basilique mineure le 19 novembre 2006, le décret ayant été signé le 11 juillet. Références Voir aussi Liens externes (en) Site officiel.
