From the University of Wisconsin Digital Collection:
"This Second Empire style residence is associated with two
prominent residents. Wadsworth G. Wheelock was a local
crockery manufacturer. He died in 1897. George Sutherland,
who resided here 1898-1935, was a lawyer and President of
Bower City Bank. The house has a slate covered mansard roof,
and is constructed of cream brick burned in Edgerton. In
addition to the mansard roof-there are few in Janesville-
Second Empire features include a projecting central entry
pavilion with an elegant portico, and heavy limestone window
surrounds. Decorative moldings, including a rope molding on
the curved pediment of the porch, were used extensively."
