John and Edna Truesdell Fischer Farmstead
John and Edna Truesdell Fischer Farmstead, Queen Anne style farmstead in Canton Township, Michigan.
The 1897 farmstead spans ten acres and features a main house with distinctive fishscale shingles, bay windows, and eighteen glass-covered greenhouses.
Michael Fischer, who arrived from Wurttemberg in 1847, purchased this land in 1862, and his son John constructed the Queen Anne house in 1897.
The farmstead demonstrates the economic advancement of second-generation German immigrant farmers in late nineteenth-century Michigan through its architectural quality.
Located at 4896-5228 Sheldon Road, the property includes a 1945 ranch house, multiple greenhouses, a boiler house, and remnants of farming structures.
The cross-plan Queen Anne design stands apart from the typical gabled-ell and upright-and-wing farmhouses that dominated the local architectural landscape.
