Victorian Commercial The Caradine Block is a two-story commercial building, designed by German-born architect G. F. Schultze in 1869. Though modest in scale, it bears an extraordinarily ornate roofline cornice, with dentils, corbels, and false pendants made of brick. Notice the upper story’s elaborate brick window heads: the middle one mimics a pediment atop paneled pilasters, while those on either side are stepped. The Rock River Iron Works in Janesville manufactured the building’s original cast-iron storefront. |
