| Additional Comments |
A 'site file' (Mills and Dams Along Cedar Creek) 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 State Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation. RETURNED EAVES, 6/6 WINDOWS W/HEAVY CUT STONE LINTELS AND SILLS. REAR ADDITION. HABS WI-28-23. A saw mill once operated on this site. Earliest records show that Valentine Hahn built the saw mill, race, and dam. He sold it in 1847 for $1200. There were several transactions of sale of the property. The saw mill changed hands and was eventually purchased by William Gaitzsch, one of the partners in the founding of the Concordia Mill. The saw mill venture proved unprofitable and a partnership was formed with William Gaitzsch and Edward and Theodore Janssen, in the building of the Concordia Mill. Theodore and William died thus leaving the mill in the ownership of Edward. It was later sold to Andreas Bodendorfer for $10,000.00 in 1861. The lintel over the doorway indicated that the mill was built in 1853. |
