316 West Main Street (Justice & Mary Heuser House)
316 West Main Street
The frame Foursquare was constructed for Justice and Mary Heuser in 1911 (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls). This is a good example of an [sic] Foursquare with nice details, including cast concrete block porch piers and fluted Composite porch columns, cornice boards enriched with dentils, and shingled triangular dormers. However, it has been aluminum-sided and has lost its original first- and second-story porch rails. Justice Heuser owned this property from 1911 until his death circa 1928, when it passed to his estate. The property remained a part of his estate until at least 1936. From at least 1940 until at least 1975, it belonged to Adolph Heuser, and Annie Heuser owned it from at least 1980 until at least 1985. In 1996, it was owned by Rickey (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls). The Heuser House is not individually eligible for historic designation.

This stone-veneered Tutor Revival house was constructed for Dr. Sigurd and Hazel Syverud in 1948 (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls, Mount Horeb Presettlement to 1986, p. 28). It is an outstanding and intact example of the Tutor Revival style, with its stone veneer, steeply-pitched gable roofs, round-arched main entrance, and prominent masonry chimney. Dr. Syverud was a long-time chiropractor in Mount Horeb, who opened a clinic in his parents' home in the village in 1942. The building at 320 West Main Street (extant) was constructed to house his clinic in 1948. Dr. Syverud died in 1996. In 1996, Dr. and Mrs. Syverud owned this property. The Syverud House will probably [be] individually eligible for designation as a Mount Horeb Historic Site, and for listing on the National Register, as a fine and intact Tutor Revival design, when it reaches 50 years old.
