The Francis Marian Ames Farmstead is located in Rutland, Wisconsin.[2] It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[3]

In 1878 F.M. Ames bought this farmland from Samuel Axtell's estate. In 1892 he built the Queen Anne-styled house that stands today, two stories, clad mostly in clapboard. The gable ends contain diamond-shaped windows and are decorated with shingles, bargeboards and lattice-work at the peaks. The porches are decorated with spindlework. Some of the windows are leaded glass.[4]

The farmstead also includes some outbuildings: a frame basement barn, a small animal shelter that was probably the lower level of another frame basement barn, and a garage that was probably used as horse and carriage barn.[4]
