Additional Information: | Resurveyed 2015. Exterior has been clad in log siding. 2015- "The Girard Lumber Company General Store and US Post Office was built around 1897. This one-story building has a boomtown false front and two large storefront windows flanking a central entry door. The side elevations are clad in asphalt shingle, and a shed-roofed porch spans the front of the building. Since its previous survey, the front elevation of the building has been reclad in log siding. The interior of the building was partially visible through the storefront windows. The building most recently served as a tavern, and there appear to be new walls and other alterations to the interior." - "Forest/Marinette county line- CTH O", WisDOT #1590-16-00/71, Prepared by UWM-CRM (2015). |
