508 Church Street, Mineral Point, Wisconsin, as seen ca. 1900 and 1971.
This house, built in 1855 for Harvey Keyes, shows only a few modifications between these two photographs—the first a glass negative taken around the turn of the 20th century and the second a slide captured as part of a buildings survey by UW-Madison Landscape Architecture students in 1971. Shutters and a tree in the front yard have been removed, wood siding replaced with aluminum, and a small garage added.
