Additional Comments
A TWO STORY COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE WITH A CARVED STONE AND CUT BRICK CORNICE AND A LENTIL TRIMMED RECESSED UPPER FACADE. THE STORE FRONT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY ALTERED FOR CONTEMPORARY USE.

"This Greek Revival style building was constructed in 1907. Mr. Hoppe was the owner of the Platteville Brewery on Mineral Street so he opened the building as a bar where patrons could sample his brews. The building functioned as a bar until 2011 when it was purchased and extensively renovated and re-opened as Gina's Bar & Restaurant."
