Abstract (in English)

European immigrants who came to America during the 19th century brough with them many diverse Old World architectural traditions. In Wisconsin, where more than 30 ethnic groups settled, this legacy flourished and survives in the many folk buildings remaining in rural areas of the state. These often reflected structure types, forms, construction methods and materials from their builder's homeland. As such, they represent a unique American historic resource,, but one that is rapidly disappearing from the landscape.
