The house is in many history texts of the area:

The house is on the historical tour for Watertown.  The write up is:

Harlow Pease, a prominent Watertown lawyer, built this Italianate house in the late 1860's. Pease was a native of Massachusetts who came to Wisconsin in 1854 and settled in Watertown in 1859.  He was a member of the state legislature and also served as Jefferson County district attorney.  He was described by contemporary local newspapers as a "brilliant" attorney, "the nestor of the legal fraternity here".  Pease was said to have a "force of will (that) was large and paired with integrity".  

    The home is well preserved and has been maintained in excellent shape by the present owners.  It has beautiful interior woodwork.  Most of the door and window moldings are quite ornate and are approximately one foot wide.  Teh front portion of the house has 12-foot ceilings, heavily decorated with wide plaster moldings, and a master bedroom also has a large ceiling medallion.  There are sizable amounts of beveled and etched glass in the home in both windows and doors.  A large spiral staircase is set off by an oriel containing four stained glass windows.  There are two fireplaces on the first floor.

    The exterior is distinguished by two bays at opposite sides of the house, fluted columns which support the front porch roof and paired brackets on the gable ends.  The sidewalk leading to the front door is cut limestone, and the front sidewalk is tinted an unusual shade of pink or rose.  

    For many years this was the home of the L. M. Bickett family.

 

Clyman Street is named for James Clyman:
