The John Mann House is an Italianate-styled farmhouse built in 1856 in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 1982. [1] Since 1980, the building has housed Quivey's Grove restaurant. [2]

History

In 1850 John Mann came west from New York state to run a livery service in Madison. After a few years he bought this farm in Fitchburg and had the house built along with a stone horse barn and two stone outhouses which still exist. [3]

The main block of the house is a two-story cube with a hipped roof. The walls, 18 inches thick, are coursed sandstone blocks dug from a neighbor's quarry. The eaves are supported by scroll-shaped brackets. Windows are tall, with stone lintels. The front door is framed in a transom and sidelights. The adjoining secondary block is similar to the main block, but 1.5 stories tall. Inside are the original hemlock floors and maple banister and newel post. [3]

The farm grew to 130 acres [4] before Mann's son Edward sold the farm in 1876. It was in the J.P. Comstock family from 1886 to 1935. After that Dr. & Mrs. William Waskow lived in the house until 1980. [3]

In 1980, the house was bought by Joe Garton and renovated by Arlan Kay of Orgeon to become Quivey's Grove Restaurant. [2]
