Jedediah Healy had this Greek Revival-style cobblestone house at 34108 Oak Knoll Road in Burlington built in 1858, according to the date stone. It is constructed of fieldstone with cobblestone veneer. A one-story addition was built later on the year. This is known as the Franklyn Hazelo House. It was placed on the National Register in 1974. Healy and his family were early settlers in Racine county, arriving in 1841. Architectural historian Richard Perrin noted this house is "perhaps the most curious piece of cobblestone masonry in Wisconsin. It is the unique treatment of the cobblestones that invites attention, since nothing quite like it has thus far been turned up anywhere else." Richard Palmer blog.
Editor's Note: Carl Schmidt states built 1852; however, the date stone at the gable clearly shows 1858.
