NOTES
Additional Information:2020: The Razy and John Wright House was constructed around 1924. With its picturesque silhouette, complex roof massing, locally-quarried stone masonry, leaded glass windows, and fine craftsmanship, the Wright house is an outstanding local example of an eclectic Period Revival-style house that combines elements of the Arts and Crafts movement and the Rustic, Tudor, and Storybook styles. The property consists of the house itself, a small ornamental pond, and a modern garage built in 2005 (AHI #241967). The design of the house is attributed to La Crosse architect Otto Merman.
