HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE: The structure at 125 North Milwaukee Street was built in 1927 for the Hansen Storage Company. The brick garage next door at 119 North Milwaukee Street has a plaque over the door which reads "18 B 1929". This pentagonally-shaped addition has a 25-car capacity. By 1940, both buildings were owned and occupied by H&O Cartage Co. and used as a garage and warehouse.
