The Hiram C. Stewart House is a Prairie School house designed by George W. Maher in Wausau, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]

History

Stewart was a principal of Wausau's Barker and Stewart Lumber Company. In 1906 he had this house built from a design by Maher. It is generally Prairie Style, with horizontal lines and broad eaves. The exterior is stucco, and the interior is carefully designed too. Themes of a tulip and a tripartite arch repeat both inside and out, exemplifying Maher's "motif rhythm theory" of design.[2]

The house is now a bed and breakfast.[3]
