| Additional Information: | This building exhibits broad gables over T-Plan with a small gabled entry projection on NE side. Building has very few windows and is sided with tongue and groove boards. Roof shingles are arranged to spell I'M FROM MILWAUKEE, very likely to be reference to the three major brewers in Ashland, Schlitz, Blatz and Pabst. This building probably served as cold storage for beer shipments. North slope of roof reads SAY BLATZ. 2022 - Demolished c.1990 |
