The Park Lawn Neighborhood of Middleton Wisconsin

 

The Park Lawn neighborhood of Middleton, Wisconsin, is located north of University Avenue, west of the Middleton High School, south of Parisi Park, and mostly east of Mayflower Drive.   Its development took place in the years immediately following World War II.  The houses, primarily Cape Cod or ranch in style, were constructed prior to 1950, for the most part.

The majority of them have since been remodeled to one degree or another, but there remains a handful that, to my eye, look much the same as they might have more than 60 years ago.

Here are photographic samples taken during an early morning walk last week.

Then there's this abomination.  (The photo does the house way too much justice.)

And here's the best example of how a series of remodeling projects have transformed your basic post-WWI Cape Cod.
