NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' 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, State Historic Preservation Office. Related building: OU 29/25 (AHI# 38957). The J.B. Courtney Co. is the outgrowth of the old Custom Woolen Mills. Prior to that, the mill was known as Kelly and Spearing Knitting Works. The plant was purchased from Spearing by the J.B. Courtney Co. in 1904. In 1927 the former structure was razed and replaced by the existing stone structure. It is still used as a woolen mill today (07/1981). The building is a two story structure, quarried block exterior, with a concrete block foundation. The structure has a gabled roof and the small addition which is presently used for storage has a shed roof.
