Manitowoc County Courthouse

The Manitowoc County Courthouse is a three-story domed courthouse located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It houses the circuit court and government offices of Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989 for its significance as a local example of Beaux-Arts and Neoclassical architecture. The courthouse is located in the Eighth Street Historic District. History The current building is the third courthouse to serve Manitowoc County. The first courthouse was a wooden structure built in Manitowoc Rapids, Wisconsin in 1839. It burnt down in 1852 when an inmate of the adjoining jail started a conflagration. After the fire, Manitowoc replaced Manitowoc Rapids as the county seat. The second courthouse was a brick structure constructed in 1857 on the same site as the present courthouse. In 1905, the county decided to replace this courthouse to gain more space. The second courthouse was moved a block to the south, where it continued to house a variety of public functions until demolition in 1961 to make way for a new jail and sheriff's department. The present courthouse was built in 1905–1907. German-born architect Christ H. Tegen of Manitowoc designed the structure, and the county contracted with George Rickman & Sons of Kalamazoo, Michigan to construct the building. The total cost was $238,000. Tegen would reuse several elements of the courthouse design when he planned the similar 1908 Oneida County Courthouse. The dome of the courthouse was originally copper and glass, and was nearly identical to the domes of the Oneida County Courthouse and Grant County Courthouse. When a severe storm in May 1950 damaged the glass, the dome was rebuilt with stainless steel. Design The courthouse is a three-story stone Beaux-Arts structure. The exterior walls are gray Indiana Limestone, with red sandstone foundations. The stone at the foundation level and first floor is horizontally rusticated, and the first floor doors and windows are arched. The north, east (front), and south facades feature Ionic columns spanning from the second to the third story. The building is capped with a substantial square drum that supports an octagonal copper and stainless steel dome. The interior of the courthouse features a large square lobby rising from the first floor to the cupola. The lobby is ornamented with classical columns, marble wainscoting, and ornamental cast metal balustrades lining the staircases and balconies. The spandrels below the dome feature medallions painted by Franz E. Rohrbeck. There is a large canvas landscape painting by Rohrbeck on the second floor depicting the original 1839 county courthouse. Another canvas landscape painting by artist Franz Biberstein depicts a panoramic view of Manitowoc. References
Karl Mathie House

(later Wausau Paper), which revived Mosinee's economy after Dessert's sawmill closed. Later purchased by musician John Altenburgh. The house is located along the Wisconsin River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989. References
Agricultural Heating Station

The Agricultural Heating Station (a.k.a. the Agricultural Bulletin Building) is a historic heating plant built in 1901 on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. In 1985 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The UW's College of Agriculture was started in 1889, with early emphases on research and extending information to farmers outside academia. Some of the college's first buildings were designed by architect John T. Jennings, including the 1893 Horticulture and Agricultural Physics building, the 1897 Dairy Barn, and the 1899 Horse Barn. In 1899, Jennings became Supervising Architect of the UW. In 1901 the college built this heating station. Rather than a drab utilitarian structure, Jennings designed the plant in the exuberant Richardsonian Romanesque style that was popular at the time. Hallmarks of the style present in the building are the dramatic asymmetric chimney and the round-topped arches above the first floor windows. The building sits on a foundation of coursed sandstone. From there rise walls of cream brick, contrasted with red brick trim and quoins. The second story is ringed with a band of windows. A hip roof covers the building, clad in red clay tile. The chimney is octagonal, topped with a corbelled chimney pot. The heating plant provided heat for only about ten years. After that steam and gas engines remained on the first floor, with a machine shop for students upstairs. Starting around 1937 the building was used by the College of Agriculture and Co-op Extension to store and mail out their publications - hence the later name Agricultural Bulletin Building.

Grimm Book Bindery

The Grimm Book Bindery is a small Georgian Revival-styled shop built in 1926 in Madison, Wisconsin for the only dedicated book-binding business in town, run by the Grimm family for 60 years. In 1986 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. History Gottlieb Grimm was a German immigrant who came to Madison in 1850 to work for Charles Weed in his book-bindery. There, Gottlieb is said to have bound the first book in Madison. After 24 years of ups and downs, the immigrant ended up as head of the shop and changed its name to Grimm Book Bindery. The building at that time was in the Journal Block. In 1909 it moved to Carroll Street, and in 1916 they built a shop at 324-328 W. Gorham. By 1924 Gottlieb's children and grandchildren ran the business, which "bound volumes for the state government, the university, other community libraries, city directories, student theses, and private libraries." Despite this business, the building on West Gorham was too large, so the Grimms decided to build a smaller shop. To design the new shop, they hired Madison architect Alvin Small, who had designed Prairie style homes like the 1914 Louis Hirsig house and Prairie style commercial buildings like the 1914 Eddy store. For the new Grimm Bindery, Small designed a small shop in Georgian Revival style, similar in style to Ben Franklin's printing shop in Philadelphia. The building is one story on a raised basement, with walls clad in red brick. The front door is centered, framed in classically-styled concrete beneath a small pediment. On each side is a large window with a round arch at the top. Topping the wall is a metal cornice decorated with modillions, beneath a short gable roof facade with a stepped parapet on each end, somewhat like Federal style. Above the front door is a neo-colonial-style sign proclaiming "Grimm BOOK BINDERY." Inside, the front door opened to a staircase which led up to an office on the left and the binding room on the right. The basement held a sewing room. The Grimms continued business in this building for 60 years, keeping the exterior very intact. Around 1986 they moved their operations to a different building in Monona and the 1926 building was remodeled into apartments. The NRHP nomination at that time nominated the Grimm Bindery as "possibly the best small Georgian Revival commercial building in Madison" and "the work of a locally important architect, Alvin Small."

Dr. Charles and Judith Heidelberger House

The Dr. Charles and Judith Heidelberger House is a Contemporary-style house designed by Herbert Fritz Jr. and built in 1951 in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. In 2017 the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places. History Charles Heidelberger was a member of the faculty of what would become the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He was also a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a world-renowned cancer researcher who developed the medication Fluorouracil. In 1951 the Heidelbergers hired Herb Fritz Jr. to design a modern house for them. Fritz was an admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright, having been a member of the Taliesin Fellowship. He designed a modest-sized but spectacular contemporary-style house set into the hillside, with concrete block walls facing the street and expansive windows looking out the back. In 1956 the Heidelbergers added a two-story master bedroom, also designed by Herb Fritz. In 2017 the house was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places - "one of Herb Fritz's early masterworks."

Stock Pavilion

The Stock Pavilion is an exhibit hall built in 1908 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, with its exterior styled like a medieval housebarn. In 1985 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places for architectural significance. History By 1900 agriculture was a big part of Wisconsin's economy. The vast majority of heavy fieldwork was still powered by horses, as tractors were just beginning to appear. Each February a big horse show and auction was held in the Dairy Barn pavilion and Agriculture Hall, but the show outgrew those venues. A committee was appointed to consider options. It included Frederick Pabst and other prominent horse breeders, and in 1906 they recommended that the legislature provide $80,000 for a new pavilion. Secretary of State Walter Houser also lobbied for the building and in 1907 the state legislature approved a special appropriation for it. Gathering ideas for the new building, UW supervising architect Arthur Peabody and animal husbandry professor George Humphrey visited animal exhibition halls around the country. In 1908 Warren Powers Laird and Paul Philippe Cret produced a design for the pavilion and general contractor T.C. McCarthy started building it. The design was in a Tudor Revival style, suggesting a medieval housebarn with its rather steep gables and half-timbering in the upper facade. The building's footprint is 212 by 115 feet and it stands 3.5 stories high. The first story is clad in red brick, with concrete trim around the openings formed to resemble tabbed stonework. The upper walls are clad in yellow brick between false half-timbers. The roof is covered in green tiles, with vents and ribbons of skylights near the peak. Inside, most of the space is taken by an elliptical earth-floored arena 164 by 66 feet. Around the arena are six tiers of concrete benches which can seat 2000 spectators. Beneath them are animal stalls and storage space. Tucked around the arena are two floors of classrooms, storage, and offices. When completed in 1908, the building won a prize as "the most desirable structure erected by any U.S. college in that year." The pavilion was the largest auditorium in Madison from the time it was built until 1930, when the Field House was built. As such, it was used for numerous events not involving cattle, including football games, boy scout jamborees, UW commencements; concerts by Paderewski, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and the London Symphony Orchestra; and speeches by Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Harry S. Truman, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Including Philip La Follette during the formation of the National Progressives of America. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989 - significant for its intact, stylish architecture.

Old Iron County Courthouse

The Old Iron County Courthouse, now the Iron County Historical Museum, at 303 Iron St. in Hurley in Iron County, Wisconsin, was built in 1892–1893. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Building The Old Courthouse is a two-story red pressed brick building with brownstone ornamentation, 83 by 69 feet (25 m × 21 m) in plan, in an eclectic style with Richardsonian Romanesque features and two towers, one a "castellated High Victorian" clock tower, the other capped by a dome. Designed by L.H. Ruggles, it was an unusually large and elaborate public building for Wisconsin at that time. History The building was constructed in 1892–1893 as the town hall for the former town of Vaughn, which was then in Ashland County. Before its completion, the majority of the building was leased to the newly formed Iron County, and although under the lease terms the "court room" space was to be used primarily for meetings of the town council, it quickly became the county courthouse. The building originally also included the firehouse for the then village of Hurley; the central arched doorway in the main facade that accommodated fire-fighting equipment has been modified. The clock tower has clocks on all four sides with a 1922 Seth Thomas clockworks, which replaced the 1893 original after lightning damage; electricity was installed for the purpose. The Iron County Historical Society acquired the building in 1976 and restored it to house the Iron County Historical Museum. References
Brown-Sewell House

The Brown-Sewell House is a Greek Revival-styled house built in 1859 in Stoughton, Wisconsin. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The house was built for Lyman Brown, and possibly by him, in 1859. Hallmarks of the Greek Revival style are the moderately pitched roof, the corner pilasters, the raking cornice, and the entablature. The one-story porch is a replacement, perhaps similar to an original porch in the same location. Though the house was built for Brown, it was only five years before he sold it to the Reverend Robert Sewell and his wife Elizabeth, in 1864. Rev. Sewell was the minister of the First Congregational Church in Stoughton. He had immigrated from Halstead, England to Canada, then New Jersey, then Wisconsin. He died in 1874 and Elizabeth in 1888, but their two daughters remained in the house into the 1920s. References

Freitag's Pure Oil Service Station

Freitag's Pure Oil Service Station is an automobile service station styled like an English cottage and built in Monroe, Wisconsin in 1935 by the Pure Oil Company. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. History Many early gas stations were rough, simple shacks along the road. The Pure Oil Company decided to defy that stereotype with its widespread brand. In the 1920s, their chief engineer Carl August Peterson designed a steep-roofed, brick-walled station in a Tudor Revival style. It had tall chimneys on each end, flower boxes and fancy ironwork, suggesting a picturesque English cottage. The structure featured white brick on the lower half of the building topped by gloss blue Ludowici tile on the roof to represent the company's colors. Pure Oil built hundreds of cottage-style stations like this across the U.S. from 1927 through the 1930s. The standard look suggested predictable quality to the passing motorist, prefiguring today's chain restaurants. The "cottage" styling allowed the station to blend in - even into residential neighborhoods. Freitag's service station in Monroe is one of these cottage-style stations. Along with the standard office section it has a "lubridome" section, where cars were serviced. This station was built by C. W. (Slim) Freitag, a big band trombonist and pilot. He built it for his father to operate. The original cost for the building and the land was $16,000. After Pure Oil, by then owned by the Union Oil Company of California, merged with Union 76, the service station became affiliated with that brand.

French Island Generating Plant

French Island Generating Plant is a waste fired electrical power station located on French Island in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Unit 1 and 2 are boiler / steam turbine units originally constructed in the 1940s operating on coal. They were converted to burn oil in the early 1970s. When oil became too costly, alternative fuels were used. Unit 2 was converted to burn waste wood in an Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler in the early 1980s with unit 1 following in 1987. RDF The two boiler units also burn Refuse derived fuel (RDF) diverting solid waste from the municipal landfill. The facility normally burns 50/50 mix of RDF and wood waste. The result of burning RDF is the release of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds into the air. Excessive dioxin releases have forced the shutdown of the boilers as recently as October 2007.

Scheig Center Gardens

Scheig Center Gardens (35 acres), formerly the Gardens of the Fox Cities, are botanical gardens and an arboretum located in Appleton Memorial Park and are managed by the city of Appleton, Wisconsin. The gardens are free and open daily to the public year round from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. The gardens are home to the Scheig Center, a 190-person capacity venue available for reservation. Garden displays and natural areas combine to showcase the seasonal beauty of plants and gardens in Wisconsin. The original purpose of the gardens was to help visitors learn and appreciate Wisconsin native plants and their environmental importance through education, protection, preservation, and propagation. The gardens include paved paths, trails, ponds, perennial gardens, including three rose gardens, native wildflower gardens, a prairie, and a reforested area. History In 1992, local naturalists formed the Friends of the Park, originally planning to construct an arboretum, similar to the Madison Arboretum. This idea shifted, and became the Henry and Mary Scheig Learning Center, named for the previous president of Aid Association for Lutherans (now Thrivent). The Gardens of the Fox Cities operated as a nonprofit organization and leased the 35 acre land and building for the gardens since 1994. In May 2006, the Gardens announced a long-term expansion project. The plan would include the addition of, among other things, a rose garden, perennial garden, bird meadow, serenity garden, and outdoor amphitheater. On January 24, 2014, the gardens closed due to financial and staffing issues, and in February, the Gardens of the Fox Cities lease was terminated. In May the gardens reopened, and in August, the gardens were officially renamed the Scheig Center Gardens.
