| Additional Comments | This brick-veneered, structural clay tile Commercial Vernacular building was erected for John Wolf in 1919. It may have housed Wolf's blacksmith shop for a brief time; by 1928, the building was being operated as an auto repair shop, in connection with the Mount Horeb Auto Company at 203 W Main St (#005659). By 1950, the property was being used as a welding shop. |
