The Martin K. Dahl House: A Second Empire Landmark
For the purist, the Second Empire style is often the crown jewel of Victorian architecture, and the Martin K. Dahl House (c. 1879) is a definitive example. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this residence does not merely occupy a lot; it anchors the architectural legacy of Waupun.
This property offers the rare chance to steward a home that retains the distinct character of the post-Civil War era. As a Second Empire structure, one can expect the signature verticality and silhouette that defined the period’s prestige. Sited on a generous half-acre lot, the home presents a commanding street presence worthy of its original owner, prominent community leader Martin K. Dahl.
With 2,430 square feet of living space, the interior volume suggests the grand scale of late 19th-century domestic life, offering four bedrooms and the spatial logic of a true historic home. This is not a “fix-and-flip” opportunity; it is a solicitation for the next custodian of Wisconsin history to preserve a documented piece of the past.
