Additional Information: | HABS WI-295. This is a freestanding brick structure which faces south onto the Public Square. The two storefronts occupying the first story of the building have been modernized. The upper level retains some of the original detailing. The facade is divided in two by a pilaster, the western segment contains two window openings, the other contains three. A row of arched forms decorates the cornice line of the building, carrying out the theme set by several other earlier brick buildings around the square. Although architecturally similar to other, earlier buildings around the square, this building is somewhat later. It is not on the 1912 Sanborn-Perris map but does appear as a 1915 correction to that map. It is also listed in 1915-1916 City Directory. |
