The Otto Sr. and Lisette Hahn House is a historic house at 626 Water Street in Sauk City, Wisconsin. The house was built between 1850 and 1857; Otto Sr. and Lisette Hahn, both German immigrants, bought it in 1866. The one-story brick house has a side gable plan, a popular vernacular layout in the mid-nineteenth century in which a building's gable roof ran parallel to the front facade. Otto Hahn was a harness and saddle maker by trade, and he added a workshop to the rear of the house to expand his business. Shortly after giving birth to her fifth child in 1871, Lisette drowned herself and the child in the Wisconsin River, leaving Otto to raise the remaining children. Hahn and his descendants owned the house until 1952, when the family sold it to Sauk City for use as a local history museum.The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 4, 2012.

The Sun Prairie Water Tower was built in 1899 in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. It was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 1999 and to the National Register of Historic Places the following year.The first non-native settlers arrived in Sun Prairie in 1839. In 1840 the road to Madison passed nearby. A sawmill was there by 1847, a hotel by 1850, and the railroad reached town in 1859. The village was incorporated in 1868.In the late 1800s the village began developing public services. A volunteer fire department formed in 1891. In 1900 a private electric company hung electric wires along Main Street. Before 1899, people got their water from private wells and cisterns. In that year the village trustees and the Sun Prairie Countryman debated building a waterworks, arguing that: "To induce others to settle with us we must have the conveniences that they are used to. To get factories here we must have better fire protection and in order to better our facilities we must have a waterworks." Fear of taxes weighed against. After much debate, a public waterworks was approved by vote.Stegerwald and Lessner, a local firm, won the bid to build a 60-foot stone tower to support the tank for $1750, and they built it in October and November 1899, re-using stone from the old Stevens Mill five miles northeast on the Maunesha River. The stonework is uniform and carefully done. At the base of the tower, a round-topped door is framed in radiating limestone blocks. Five windows allow light into the tower. A wooden tank originally sat on the tower, bought from Challenge Wind Mill and Feed Mill Company of Batavia. John M. Healy of Chicago provided pipe for the water system, and laid it.By 1911 the wooden tank was insufficient, and was replaced with a steel tank from Kennicott Water Softener of Chicago. Another flaw was that the original system only took water to homes; it didn't get waste water out of the homes. That problem was resolved in 1918 with a waste water treatment plant.The NRHP nomination considers the Sun Prairie tower significant for being built of stone, which is rare for a water tower in Wisconsin. It is also significant for its fine stonework, and as a symbol of the movement toward municipal services in the community.

The Fuhremann Canning Company Factory is a historic factory building at 151 Market Street in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. The Fuhremann Canning Company built the original version of the current building in 1912, replacing an earlier factory built by the Sun Prairie Canning Company in 1912.

All of the factory's owners used the building to produce canned vegetables and particularly canned peas, one of Wisconsin's major crops. During World War II, German prisoners of war at Camp McCoy were brought to work at the factory, as the war had caused an agricultural labor shortage despite large pea and corn harvests. The factory continued to produce canned vegetables until 2000; the building is now used for retail and apartments.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 2004.

The house is 1.5 stories, with a T-shaped floor plan. The style is Carpenter Gothic, clearly marked by the ornate scroll-sawn vergeboards on the gable end, and the decorations on the posts that support the broad front porch. The front door contains a round-topped window, and the tall multi-paned window in the dormer above has a similar round top. On each side of the front door is a French door which opens onto the porch. From the center of the house rises a chimney topped with a brick arch.Crosse lived in the house until he died in 1908. His family owned the house until 1919. Later it was made into rental units, and was losing its integrity by 1976. In that year a group of preservation-minded citizens got together and began restoring it.
