Pierce House
1857
Built in the early Romanesque Revival style, this Prairie du Chien sandstone house exemplifies the ornate designs of local architects August Kutzbock and Samuel Donnel. In the 1850's and 60's, it was commissioned by Alexander A. McDonnell, contractor for the third State Capitol. Among later occupants of the house were Sarah Fairchild Dean Conover, a society dowager, and George Pierce, a power company executive.
