| Additional Information: | Historic photos and Sanborn maps show that this building originally had a Commercial Vernacular design and that it has (and still has) stone exterior walls and originally had three equal-width storefronts facing onto Wisconsin Ave., each of which had two windows placed above it in the second story. By the time the building was first surveyed in 1992, however, the building had been remodeled and had achieved its current (2025) appearance, with the south two sections housing the Community First Bank and with walls that had been resurfaced in stucco. The northernmost third section (105 N. Wisconsin), still retains something of its original appearance but it too has now been resurfaced in stucco. |
