This large Tudor-style house at 76 Maple Street, designed by Armand Frank of Milwaukee and built by George R. Ford Sr. as a wedding present to his son, George Jr., is called one of the finest of its kind. The Tudor style was popular in America for some 50 years, ending in 1940.

 

False half-timbering with stucco walls is the most obvious feature of most Tudor architecture, including this one. The first floor walls are of brick.
