| Additional Information: | This one story frame commercial building features a flat roof with a stepped parapet on the north and east elevations. Entrances are located on the north and east elevations. The exterior is clad in modern aluminum siding. The window openings on the north and east elevations contain fixed storefront windows. Wide clapboard siding and permastone exist below the windows. A display area is located at the building#25;s northeast corner. The neon arrow pointing to the entrance appears to be original, while the neon Denny#25;s Diner signs are modern. A shed roof addition exists on the south elevation. The building was originally a store but was converted into a restaurant approximately 5 years after it was constructed. It has been altered with aluminum siding and a shed roof rear addition. It does not have significance as a mid twentieth century roadside restaurant. This property was surveyed as part of WISDOT #5060-00-03. |
