It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. This 4.5 story cream brick building decorated with applied pilasters was built in 1879-1880 next to the falls to house the major industry in Sheboygan Falls. Operated by both steam and water power, in 1992 it was renovated into 35 housing units.[A] "Built in 1879, the Woolen Mill was the out-growth of two prior mills. The mill produced woolen shawls, coatings, suiting, dress goods and blankets. The building was operated by both steam and water power. It was supplied with automatic fire-sprinklers, two powerful pumps, and even it's own organized fire department. In 1992, Brickner Woolen Mills was renovated into 35 housing units."
