The Martin K. Dahl House – A Second Empire Landmark
Built in 1879, The Martin K. Dahl House stands as one of Waupun’s most distinctive historic residences. Designed in the elegant Second Empire style, the home reflects the architectural ambition of the late 19th century—a period when mansard roofs, ornate detailing, and vertical grandeur defined prestige.
Recognized for its significance, the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, linking it directly to the legacy of Martin K. Dahl, an influential early community leader.
Architectural Significance
Second Empire homes are instantly recognizable, often featuring:
• Steep mansard rooflines allowing for a full upper story
• Symmetrical façade and vertical emphasis
• Tall windows and refined detailing
• A sense of urban sophistication adapted to residential living
This home carries that identity forward, offering a rare opportunity to own a property that is both architecturally distinctive and historically meaningful.
Interior & Living Space
• 2,430 sq ft across multiple levels
• Four bedrooms and two bathrooms
• Layout reflective of late 1800s design traditions
• Generous room sizes and natural light potential
• Opportunity to preserve or further enhance historic details
Grounds & Setting
• 0.52-acre lot in a historic setting
• Prominent positioning along Beaver Dam Street
• Space for landscaping, gardens, or outdoor living enhancements
Why It Stands Out
Homes like this don’t come along often—not because they’re expensive or large, but because they carry identity.
The Martin K. Dahl House is:
• A recognized historic landmark
• A representation of a specific architectural era
• A connection to the early development of Waupun
The Opportunity
Whether you’re a preservation enthusiast, history lover, or simply someone who wants a home with a story, this property offers a chance to own something far more meaningful than a typical house.
It’s not just about square footage—it’s about heritage, character, and legacy.
