The Daniel and Nellie Byrns House is a historic house at 221 Mill Street in Lodi, Wisconsin.

History

The house was built in 1915 for local grocer Daniel Byrns and his wife Nellie.[1] Both Daniel and Nellie were Irish immigrants; they originally lived on a farm in the Town of Lodi, but Byrns opened a grocery store in the city by 1913.[2] The one-and-a-half-story house has a bungalow design, a popular choice in the 1910s; its architect and builder are unknown. The house features a screened wraparound porch, square pilasters flanking the front entrance, and a large gabled dormer with a small balcony above the entrance. It is the largest and best-preserved example of a bungalow in Lodi.[3]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
