Description
The stone was cut into small blocks and laid in regular course. It was originally built on a lot on the corner of Bridge Street (now Barstow) and Main. It was moved to the adjacent lot (its current location) about 1890. The Sloan house is believed to be the oldest surviving structure in Waukesha. Sloan was an attorney who arrived in Prairieville (Waukesha) about 1840.
