Additional Comments
2024: THis building was originally constructed in 1890 as the Eagle River Hospital. By no later than February 1892, the building was purchased by Dr. Wendell Neville and Frank Beardsley and the building functioned as a drug store run by Beardsley and Dr. Neville had his office in the building. By 1893, the upper floor was the hall for the Eagle River Lodge No. 109, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Though built separately, for the purposes of the National Register Nomination, this is considered one building with 246800.
