LEANNE DRIVES - 1892
N67 W5487 Columbia Road Cedarburg

This solid Cream City brick home was constructed in 1892 in a craftsman style that features arched doorways, hard wood floors and gracefully-arched casement windows. The original garage was replaced with one constructed in a historically compatible style. An early, if not first, owner grew flowers on the lot and sold them in the Milwaukee market.

LeAnne Drives has furnished her home with antiques and collectibles that perfectly complement the house period. Equestrian touches and New Orleans and French period pieces make highly interesting aesthetic counterpoints to the turn of the twentieth century architectural features.

Dr. Theodore Hartwig Home 1863
CHUCK & MARLYN GASSERT
W64 N758 Washington Avenue, Cedarburg

This 1863 painted brick home perched on a hill on the northern prospect of Washington Avenue was home to Cedarburg’s beloved first physician, Dr. Theodore Hartwig and his family. The house has a floor plan which included a waiting area and office for Dr. Hartwig’s medical practice.

This house is constructed in the sedate style of American, early Victorian architecture with its many, tall, beveled-glass windows that create a light and airy interior. Chuck and Marilyn Gassert have furnished their home with collections of nineteenth century Americana including a working Victrola in the parlor.

Stony Knoll Farm - 1894
ERIC AND LINDA UTZ
2234 Highway I, Grafton

Known as the Stony Knoll Farm, this warm and inviting farmhouse, built in 1894, was once the Juedes Family Homestead.

Following damage from a truck accident in 2006, extensive repairs were made using traditional methods and materials, under the supervision of the owner, Eric Utz, a historic restoration specialist. Its distinctive Victorian color scheme, stone guest cottage and barn stand out against a pleasing country backdrop. The interior showcases many unique antiques and family mementos.

Weidman Farmhouse - 1894
GEORGE AND KATHERINE HORVATH
11308 Sherman Road – Cedarburg

The current Weidman Farmhouse replaced the family’s original 1852 log cabin and was constructed by their son, Lorenz John Weidman and his wife. The 1894 structure was built of split quarry stone, which was hauled by horse-drawn wagons from Rockfield about ten miles away.
A summer kitchen built of field stones was added in 1907.

During the home’s restoration in the 1980’s, Joanne Nehring uncovered remnants of the original wall stenciling which she copied and replaced. The Nehrings also opened up two rooms and added a large addition in 1996, which preserved the architectural integrity of the house through the use of split quarry limestone, the original building material.

KUHEFUSS HOUSE MUSEUM - 1849
W63 N627 Washington Avenue, Cedarburg

The original 2-room structure built in 1849 was constructed of hand-hewn 8” x 12” oak timbers milled in one of Cedarburg’s first mills. Edward and Johanna Blank purchased the Fischer House in 1854; the first of several generations of this family to inhabit the home. In 1864, German stone masons built a split-quarry limestone wing which nearly doubled the size of the house. The second generation, known as the Kuhefuss Family, remodeled the house over a period of several years from the late 1920’s through the 1950’s. Marie Kuhefuss, a founding member of the Cedarburg Cultural Center, generously bequeathed the home to the Center in 1989. Major
restoration work was completed in 1990.

ST. FRANCIS BORGIA CHURCH-1870
N44 W6055 Hamilton Rd,
Cedarburg

St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church has been the capstone of the south end of Washington Avenue since its construction in 1870.

The congregation, founded in 1842, first worshiped in a log structure on Pioneer Road.
A wooden frame church, built in 1852, replaced the original building. The congregation donated most of the $30,000 cost for the stone structure, which was built in 1870.

St. Francis Borgia Church, was the inspiration of the local
preservation movement which saved the remarkable historic architecture of downtown Cedarburg. Pastor Leo Zingsheim proposed to tear down the stone church in the 1950s in order to construct a larger church on the same lot. Steve Fischer, a member of the congregation who also happened to be mayor, intervened. The building was saved and Cedarburg’s preservation movement began.
