The Clara F. Bacon House is a historic house at 509 Madison Avenue in Lodi, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]

History

[edit]

The house was built in 1899 for Clara F. Bacon, who moved to Lodi from Baraboo, Wisconsin after the death of her husband Carlos. While Carlos was a prominent Baraboo businessman, Clara had lived in Lodi before marrying him and still had ties to the city. The two-story house has a Queen Anne design, a popular style in the United States in the late nineteenth century; its architect is unknown, though it is similar to pattern book designs of the era. The house's design includes a hip roof with cross gables, patterned shingles on the gable ends, ornamental frieze boards, and a turret atop the front porch.[2][3]
