| Additional Information: | OLD MILL BUILDING THAT HAS NOW (2008) BEEN CONVERTED INTO A GIFT SHOP. 2008- "This previously surveyed Astylistic Utilitarian form building sits well back from Main Street and it was built adjacent to the angled railroad tracks that cross Main Street and divide it into east and west sections. This building was either built as a mill or else was subsequently converted into one and it is rectilinear in plan, is two stories tall, and its exterior walls are clad for the most part in vertical board and batten. The main facade of this gable-roofed building faces southeast towards Main Street and its first story has now been altered by the addition of a gable-roofed one-and-one-half-story-tall fieldstone-clad ell to the left and by the addition of a large hip-roofed veranda across the rest of the first story. Both of these are modern additions and it is believed that most of the building's six-over-six-light double hung windows are also modern additions as well." -"Waunakee 7.5 Quad", WisDOT#5290-01-02, Prepared by Timothy F. Heggland, (2008). The 1894 Sanborn-Perris Map shows this building as being a two-story-tall, rectilinear plan, wood tobacco warehouse. Today (2018) this building has an L-plan so the ell is a later addition of unknown date. |
