Additional Comments
A 'site file' titled "Chicago, St. Paul, Mpls., & Omaha RR Car Shop H.D." 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. Description: A rectangular two-story vernacular 19th century industrial building constructed of pilastered red brick, gable roof with cruciform brick work cornice, granite foundation with beveled stone watertable, segmental windows with voussiors and stone lug sills (boarded) placed in the recessed corbelled brick panels, both the east and west facades featuring two large segmental entrance doors with voussiors and stoop porches (concrete block), large rectangular entrance cut into south facade with concrete platform added.

Background: "The central sun around which the whole (shop) system revolves" was the old Store House. The complex's base point for general supplies and materials, the Store House also served as the headquarters where detailed work orders were disptached. The north end of the second floor provided space for offices, including that of the Master Car Builder.d An iron clad castings warehouse was added to the building's north side around 1904, but has since been removed.
