The Benjamin Boorman House is a historic 19th century residence located in Mauston, Wisconsin.[1] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[2]
History
The house was built for English immigrant Benjamin Boorman, and his first wife Elizabeth Boorman.[3] After her death in 1874, Benjamin Boorman remarried the following year on July 19, 1875, marrying Margaret A. Hall. Two children were born: George dying in infancy; and Rob Roy. Margaret was a sister of Benjamin's brother Clarence Boorman's wife.
After Benjamin Boorman's death, the house was owned by Jeff T. Heath, Tom Powers, John Tremain, and Francis Gardner.[4]
