The John F. Cance House at 807 W. Ridge Ave. in Galesville, Wisconsin was built in 1908.[1][2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

The house was designed by architect G.H. Carsley. Carsley was a member of the architect Cass Gilbert's office in St. Paul from 1896 to 1906 and possibly longer; though the house was not necessarily associated with Gilbert's firm, its progressive design is typical of the office.[2] The home displays Tudor Revival architecture.[1][3]

The house has a separate carriage house, which contributes to its National Register listing.[4] The house is the only prominent Tudor Revival building in Galesville; while its architecture is not considered exceptional in its own right, its uniqueness and connection to the Cass Gilbert office make it historically significant nonetheless.[2]

The house's first owner, John F. Cance, was a prominent banker at the Bank of Galesville. He was a cashier for the bank when the house was built and continued to rise in the bank until he became bank president in 1930, a position he held for 23 years.[3]
