This old house was located on the Voak Farm on the Wilmot-Silver Lake Road, on the east side of the Fox River, north of the Wilmot-Kenosha Road. At the time this picture was taken the house was not occupied. A letter from a Wilmot resident indicated that general opinion was that the house was originally built by A. W. Benham, the first settler recorded in Wilmot in 1844. The house was moved by Charles Voak to the Voak Brothers farm to be used as a tenant house in 1893.
