at Pendarvis Historical Site
Polperro House is one of six house that are on the interpretative tour at Pendarvis Historical Site in Mineral Point Wisconsin. I love the exterior architectural details on this 150 year old house. Quarried limestone blocks on the first floor, chinked wood on the second and third floors, and quite intricate doors and windows pieced in place.

Mineral Point, Wisconsin
Pendarvis and Trelawny Houses are two of the six featured buildings at the Pendarvis Historical Site in Mineral Point Wisconsin. These homes, originally built in the 1840s, were restored in the 1940s and are furnished with period pieces. Interpreters offer insights as to how the Cornish miners and their families lived and worked when mining was king in this small south-central Wisconsin community. The historical site is open for interpretive tours and demonstrations May through October, but even when it is closed during the winter season, it’s still lovely to photograph when the snow plays contrast with the tan limestone and white trim on the buildings.
