The Christina Kuhl House in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, is a striking example of Second Empire architecture completed in 1886. The substantial residence features frame construction with a red brick veneer and a distinctive mansard roof covered in tin. Unusually for a single-family dwelling of the style, the house incorporates two towers, a rare application of Second Empire domestic design. Built for Adam Kuhl, a German immigrant cabinetmaker turned brewery founder whose operation became a regional landmark, the house was constructed by specialized tradesmen including D. R. Rogers (wall and ceiling papering, painting), Aug. Lubitz (carpentry), Henry Vetter (brickwork and stonework), and Mr. Chanley (plastering). After Kuhl's death in 1932, his widow Christina inherited and maintained the property as a rental income source until her own death in 1974. The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and appears in the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places.
