Ornate details, including an archway and original wood flooring, from nearly 150 years ago make this Italianate house with Gothic elements an architectural treasure that is unique to the Delavan area. Additional architectural elements are aired and scrolled brackets under the eaves, a polygonal oriel at the front, round arched double doors with teardrop windows, round and segmental arched windows with molded hoods, and porches featuring scroll details.  This treasure, built around 1871, will be either given away free for removal to another site, demolished, or auctioned as separate building components by the City of Delavan.
