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, State Historic Preservation Office. 2-story painted brick veneer, flant-iron-shaped building with corner tower, altered 1st. floor. The rear half was added some time before 1910. The tavern is a representative example of a vernacular, Queen Anne commercial buildnig, distinctive for its corner tower and flat-iron shape. This picturesque saloon survived the 1892 fire. Dwarfed by the warehouses around it, it recalls the days when the neighborhood consisted of large warehouses and tiny white frame houses with lilacs in their front yards. 1912 - Erect two story addition. Aug. Bucholz was the builder. Nineteenth century corner saloon constructed of brick with segmental arch windows. Supportive of character of the Lower Third Ward district. |
