NOTES
Additional Information:The two-story buildings express an Italianate sensibility, with a pronounced and richly ornamented metal cornice, but each building receives a unique treatment along the second floor. That on the left features elaborate cast-iron decoration around the windows, separated by stylized Corinthian pilasters. That on the right is distinguished by metal drip moldings embellished by a vine-like pattern. A dogtooth course along the top links the windows. Inside the Bulard Building, the pressed-metal ceiling survives.
Bibliographic References:Buildings of Wisconsin manuscript.
