"In the period from 1900 to the 1930s several new industries were established. A milk products plant, a furniture company, and a clothing factory
were all operating by the 1930s. The town grew in importance as a trading
center for the surrounding county, but the focus of the economy remained
agricultural. The dairy industry became so important here that Pulaski was
sometimes called "the Land of Milk and Honey". Although small farms
predominated, several large farming operations were in production, including Frederick Mars Milky Way Farm (NR 9/27/84) several miles north of town.
In the district, the house at 414 East Madison (#2) was constructed at this
time. The one and one-half story frame house is characterized by a stone
foundation, side gable roof with dormers, and mixed fenestration." ~ NRHP Nomination Form, PDF page 12
