Property Features
Purchased by W.D. Hoard for the publishing offices of the Jefferson County Union and Hoard's Dairyman. Hoard served as Governor of the state from 1889-1891. Through the pages of the Jefferson County Union and Hoard's Dairyman, Hoard was also one of the main instigators in changing Wisconsin from a wheat farming state to a leading dairy state. Because of its connection with Hoard and with Hoard's Dairyman, this building, along with 228 and 232 S. Main, are historically significant.
2019 - Resurveyed - appearance altered: replacement windows on primary and southern elevation of southernmost building, and wood shingled canopy has been removed across the facade.
