Yawkey House Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin
The house was the home of prominent citizen, Cyrus C. Yawkey. Yawkey was a co-owner of a firm in Saginaw, Michigan before moving to Wausau to purchase large tracts of land for lumber. He later owned numerous local businesses and was a member of the Wisconsin Legislature. The house was built in 1900 to 1901. Yawkey hired George W. Maher to remodel the house eight years later. He remodeled the first floor, added a sun porch, and added two stories to the back of the structure. Yawkey died in 1943. His wife Alice lived in the house until she died in 1953. Their daughter, philanthropist Leigh Yawkey Woodson, donated the house to the Marathon County Historical Society.
