context_page_description: The East Park Historic District in Stoughton, Wisconsin is a 7 acres historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
  It includes East Park and 19 contributing buildings which overlook it from the north and west. A park shelter is a non-contributing resource.
  It is significant as an intact and visually distinct and cohesive group of small to medium-sized houses, mostly built between 1913 and 1921 and mostly Bungalow, Craftsman, or Craftsman-influenced in style.
  Here are some good examples of the different styles in the order built:
  The Klabo house at 216 South Lynn Street is a front-gabled home built in 1914, two stories with flared eaves, bay windows, and a full-width front porch supported by Doric columns. Peter Klabo is listed as a tobacco worker in the 1920 census; in 1930 he worked in a sawmill.
  The Bennie and Bertha Gilbertson house at 116 S. Lynn Street is an American Foursquare house built in 1915, with a basement of rock-faced concrete block, frame walls above that, and a flared hip roof with triangular-faced dormers. It has a full-width front porch with Doric columns.
