NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' titled "J. Lemler Double Store Building" 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.

One of three adjacent buildings built in 1914. This building built by Jacob Lemler and his partner as a double store building. Other associated buildings include c.729 and c. 719 STH 25 (AHI 128403, 128405) in Hillsdale. This is a one-story building of orange brick separated from the other two buildings by a brick party wall which terminates in a raised parapet. This building has two symmetrical storefronts that are separated by a single, broad, brick pilaster strip. Each has a cast iron lintel and a canted, centered entrance with display windows on either side. A tall brick parapet wall surmounts to two storefronts; it is divided into three sections by pilaster strips and decorated with a large panel of decorative corbelled brickwork. In the center of the brickwork is a stone plaque with the inscription "J. Lemler 1914".
