The Dr. Samuel Blumer House is a historic house at 112 Sixth Avenue in New Glarus, Wisconsin.

## History

The two-story stone house was built circa the 1850s during the early development of New Glarus. Dr. Samuel Blumer, the first physician in New Glarus, bought the property in 1858; like most of New Glarus' first residents, Blumer was a Swiss immigrant. The house applied elements of the Greek Revival style, such as a front-facing gable with cornice returns, to traditional Swiss stone construction techniques. Abraham Kundert placed a clapboard addition on the house while using it as a hardware store in the 1870s. The house was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
