Named one of the 50 most beautiful in America, a mansion in Wisconsin gets the plaster renovation work it's been longing for the past 20 years.
Built in the 1920s for Walter Kohler, a son of the founder of Kohler Co., the English Tudor-style mansion overlooking the Sheboygan River had passed on to Kohler's heirs until being placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. In 1986, Kohler Co. purchased Riverbend, but it sat empty for years after that, until the major restoration effort was launched in March 2000.
