NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' exists for this property. 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, Division of Historic Preservation. CORBELLED BRICK CORNICE. SEGMENTAL ARCHED WINDOWS. BY 2008 THIS BUILDNG'S ORIGINAL CREAM BRICK WALLS HAD BEEN COVERED OVER WITH STUCCO. BbY 2012, HOWEVER, THIS STUCCO HAD BEEN REMOVED.

2008- "Today, this previously surveyed two-story-tall Commercial Vernacular form building has a five-sided plan and an angled elevation that faces southwest onto the adjacent railroad tracks. The sole Sanborn-Perris map of Waunakee, however, which was drawn in 1894, shows that the original portion of this building was rectilinear in plan and had a main facade that faced south onto E. Main St. This fagade is still clearly discernable and it is six-bays-wide. The first story contains four segmental-arched window openings and two segmental-arched entrance door openings, while the second story contains six segmental-arched window openings. The fagade is then crowned by a simple corbelled brick cornice, and when a three-sided addition was added to the original building sometime after 1894, this cornice was continued across the top of the new four-bay-wide southwest-facing angled elevation as well. This later elevation also features segmental arched window and door openings as well, and so does the buildings new three-bay-wide west-facing side elevation. All of the building's original doors and windows, however, have now been replaced with modern equivalents and the building's cream brick walls have now also been covered over with stucco."
