1. Koch House Marker

Inscription. Built in 1873, the house is rather primitive in style despite the fact that the logs were not hand hewn but rather produced in a local sawmill. A few years after its construction an addition was attached to the building, and the entire structure was covered with clapboard siding. In later years a wing was added to the back of the dwelling where a small bottling dairy was started which became known as the Koch Dairy.

Erected by Menomonee Falls Historical Society.
