I’m enjoying seeing Chippewa Valley Museum and all the other collections on-line. I notice though that Schlegelmilch is spelled incorrectly. This is the correct spelling.
Thanks for catching this mistake. I made the fix and everything should be correct now. Here’s a direct link to the Schlegelmilch objects: http://tinyurl.com/2zxgs7
CIVIL WAR STONE FARMHOUSE ON MARKET Waukesha County – Close to Delafield
Hello,
I have a lovely 1860 stone house that I must sell as my job in Wisconsin was eliminated and I’m moving to Tennessee for a new job. I had the Sussex – Lisbon Historian Fred Keller research the history of the home. He wrote a 2 part article about the property which appeared in the Sussex Sun last year. I have the original articles and the internet copies for anyone interested. Please spread the word, the property is of historic value to the community – a Civil War era hand built stone farmhouse, center entrance. Beautiful and serene.
I am heartbroken to sell it, but I must. Do you know anyone (who appreciates antiques and history) who has always wanted a stone home, but could not find one, or when they did it was in poor condition or needed so many updates it was overwhelming?
I searched for years for such a property as this. Arrowhead school system and 20 minutes to Brookfield, 25 minutes to Milwaukee. WOW.
Cut limestone, 18in thick walls, deep window sills, fantastic “S” corbels at the roof line, DRY and TALL fieldstone basement, beautiful light, fastastic for showing off antiques and primitives.
I’ve put a lot of love, sweat equity, and updates. NEW well, NEW septic, NEW 200 amp Electric Service, NEW sump pump, NEW gutters, NEW customer built cedar cellar door (hand cut limestone steps lead to basement) are among the many updates/upgrades I’ve put in. 3 bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths. I have landscaping plans drawn up. Many, many inclusions.
Please spread the word, the property will go with a realtor soon…price negotiable – asking $249,000 possibly negotiable for quick sale,
Please call

I have to start my new job February 16!
Curious – is this home still for sale? I have a charming home built 1919 that is in the way of a county project. I’m torn between moving it, or trying to salvage every stick as it tears me apart to think of it demolished. I, like you, have come to know the soul of this house and have loved it for many years,…Perhaps I could incorporate it’s treasures into this treasure of yours?
My father was a antique dealer and purchased a rare Wisconsin Barrel-Front Two Piece Corner Cupboard back in the 1970’s. It has original surface. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this particular Wisconsin furniture type.
Hi Todd,
Thanks for your comment. All of the Wisconsin barrel-front cupboards I’ve seen are thought to be made by Norwegian immigrants. Some have the barrel front on only the top or the bottom, and some have it on both sections. Many are corner cupboards. There are a few examples illustrated in Lyndon Viel’s book “Antique Ethnic Furniture” (1983).
Do you know where your father acquired his cupboard?

Hello Wendy,
I don’t know if the home listed above is still for sale. You’d have to contact the owner directly (see Shawn’s comment for contact info).

Please see page 35A of the September issue of the Maine Antique Digest for an example of a Wisconsin Barrrel Front Cupboard.
