L. J. Arthur House
The L. J. Arthur House is a historic house at 210 N. Jefferson Street in Lancaster, Wisconsin.
History
The house was built in 1880 for L. J. Arthur, a local attorney. Builder George Benn designed the house, which exhibits Victorian building trends but does not fall under a specific architectural style. The two-story house has a T-shaped plan with a red brick exterior, ornate wooden porches, two bay windows, and bracketed eaves. Merchant Charles Basford bought the house from Arthur in 1889 and lived there until the 1920s; it has since been used as a boarding house and a restaurant.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.
