A journal about life in Wisconsin, decorating, and restoring an 1893 Queen Anne Victorian built by Civil War veteran John Olson Wrolstad and his wife Mathea. Read on to see lots of old photographs, and read stories of the second owners Thomas and Maren Quien, and their children who filled the house with memories for 90 years. Very First Photo I Took of the House Feb 18, 2007 - 30 minutes after we bought the house.

Replacing the Porch Floor, Tongue & Grove
During the summer, Mom and Dad visiting us three times. Each time staying a week. They worked their hearts out. I am so proud of them, and forever grateful they are eager to help us with the restoration of our old Victorian. Each time they visited, we were able to pull ahead in our projects by at least a month. 
Wow, I admire your work. I know from experirnce that the porch on one of these houses is the most time consuming project of a restoration. Your home looks beautiful!
