| Additional Information: | This structure was originally smaller than it is in 1994. It began as a small laboratory for Dr. William A. Young, who set up the experimental station for animal research there in the late 1930s. The building was expanded to provide quarters for "Smalley" De Figuerido, who was from Hong Kong and represented his family in the ginseng business. A 'site file' (Fromm Brothers Fur and Ginseng Farm Complex) 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-Public History. |
