It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. CUT STONE WINDOW SURROUNDS.

Note: this building is currently divided into three parcels: 081105468712; 081105468614; and 081105468516. Two other addresses associated with this building are: 103 & 105 Columbus St.

Originally, the site of this triple store building consisted of three separate older buildings. The middle building of three was then enlarged and the two flanking buildings on either side were also then rebuilt in enlarged form. The three essentially new building units were then united by a new facade that spanned the width of all three units, creating a unified appearance.
