A reconnaissance survey of this area was conducted by the principal and assistant investigators as the first part of the survey. After which, a research effort was conducted to ascertain the architectural and historical significance of the resources identified during the reconnaissance survey. The resulting products of the project were produced according to standards set by the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Division of Historic Preservation and include the following: Intensive Survey Report The intensive survey report includes a summary of the research and a brief history of the community. It provides a historical context for the evaluation of historic resources and serves as a means for identifying significant properties, complexes, and districts eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It also contains recommendations for future survey and research needs, priorities for National Register listing, and strategies for historic preservation. Survey and District Maps Survey maps indicate all previously and newly surveyed properties as well as properties already listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Complex and district maps identify boundaries and all resources in the potential complexes and districts. These maps are included in the Survey Results Chapter in this intensive survey report. Electronic Documents The Wisconsin Historical Society’s website contains an electronic database, called the Architecture and Historic Inventory (AHI), for all inventoried properties. Also, an electronic copy of this report is saved on compact disc and held at the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Rock County Courthouse. 1 Table of Contents Contents Page Abstract ....................................................................................................................1 Table of Contents .....................................................................................................2 Chapter 1 Introduction ..............................................................................................................4 Chapter 2 Survey Methodology ................................................................................................6 Chapter 3 Historical Overview ...............................................................................................14 Chapter 4 Government............................................................................................................18 Chapter 5 Agriculture .............................................................................................................20 Chapter 6 Industry ..................................................................................................................22 Chapter 7 Transportation ........................................................................................................26 Chapter 8 Architecture............................................................................................................28 Chapter 9 Education .............................................................................................................114 Chapter 10 Social & Political Movements .............................................................................120 Chapter 11 Religion ................................................................................................................122 Chapter 12 Commerce ............................................................................................................126 Chapter 13 Planning & Landscape Architecture ....................................................................132 Chapter 14 Recreation & Entertainment ................................................................................134 Chapter 15 Notable People .....................................................................................................138 Chapter 16 Bibliography ........................................................................................................142 Chapter 17 Survey Results .....................................................................................................146 Chapter 18 Recommendations ................................................................................................202 Chapter 19 Notes ....................................................................................................................208 Chapter 20 Appendix ..............................................................................................................214 Building Support for Local Historic Preservation Incentives for Historic Preservation Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation in Wisconsin Creating a Preservation Ethic in Your Community Planning a Local Historic Preservation Program Historic Preservation Ordinances and Commissions in Wisconsin How to Gain Commission Credibility Benefits of Local Historic Preservation Ordinances Certified Local Government Historic Preservation Tax Incentive for Income-Producing Historic Buildings Wisconsin Historic Homeowners Tax Credit Program Guidelines for Planning Historic Preservation Tax Credit Projects 2 This page intentionally left blank. 3 Introduction 1 The Wisconsin Historical Society received a Historic Preservation grant-in-aid from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior disbursed to the City of Beloit to hire Legacy Architecture, Inc., an architectural and historic preservation consulting firm based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, to conduct an intensive survey of architecturally and historically significant resources within the boundaries of the City of Beloit, Wisconsin. The major objective of the project was to identify structures, complexes, and districts of architectural or historical significance that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The survey was executed during the period from October 2015 to July 2016 by Principal Investigators Rowan Davidson and Robert Short with editorial assistance by Jennifer L. Lehrke and clerical assistance by Gail Biederwolf, all of Legacy Architecture, Inc. It consisted of several major work elements: completing a reconnaissance survey, conducting research, evaluating resources, and preparing an intensive survey report. The boundaries of the survey were delineated as shown on the Survey Boundaries Map at the end of chapter 2. The survey identified approximately 974 resources of architectural and historical interest as well as 5 potential complexes and 2 potential historic districts. While resources include a number of commercial, industrial, civic, religious, educational, institutional, and recreational properties, the majority of the surveyed resources are houses.

The American Craftsman Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. — William Morris The American Craftsman style has its foundation in mid- 19th Century England from an anti-industrial art reform movement that established principles for living and working, explored in last year’s Tour. With a connection to English Medievalism, later combined with Japanese feudal society, the hand-made work of an “artist-crafts- man” was felt to be “noble and pure.” An underlying thread was that good design promoted a harmonious society. In 1888, the founding of the Arts and Crafts Ex- hibition Society was an achievement due to the inspired work of William Morris, the father of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and John Ruskin, its philosopher. Eagerly imported by America, it influenced all forms of decorative arts and ar- chitecture. In keeping with its philosophy, these forms with minimal ornamenta- tion took on their own distinct qualities and looks depending upon the natural materials and geographic region in which they were located.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the originai document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pags(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
