History
editHarold Hornburg was a long-time dealer of Ford vehicles. His 1.5-story home's walls are veneered with lannon stone. The rolled eaves suggest a thatched roof, but are clad with modern shingles. Hornburg and the contractor Harold Brockmeyer visited a house in Oshkosh with a similar roof and based the roof design on that. Along with the eaves, the low-to-the-ground profile of the house with no raised basement contributes to the impression of a Cotswold cottage.[4]
