District Map

"Early Twentieth Century, circa 1905-1940. Coded D.
This group of twenty-one buildings includes numerous one and two-story commercial buildings, four residential buildings, a gas station, depot, Masonic Lodge, and a parochial school. All show influence of progressive 20th century design traditions, including Craftsman, Bungaloid, Art Deco and Moderne. ... These buildings usually employ rectangular windows with tripart upper sash.

"Commercial, Coded With Black Bar
This designation indicates that historically the building (or part of it) was used for commercial purposes. Since very few properties were constructed exclusively for commerce, the black bar code at the front of the property parcel generally refers to a first story storefront." ~ NRHP Nomination Form, PDF pages 4-6


"Built: circa 1950
This is a concrete building." ~ DNR Historic Survey, phase II & III  PDF pages 616-617
