| Additional Information: | Two-story cream brick building has unusual molded brick cornice and 7 segmentally arched windows on second floor. The original front featured a regular glass storefront for the saloon at the north and an indented porch with unusual gingerbread trim across the south 2/3 of the facade. Known for many years as the Farmer's Home Hotel, Langholf's Block was also used as a boardinghouse. It is historically significant as the only 19th century hotel building remaining in Fort Atkinson. |
