It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Map code 0709-134-1001-8. Building has a 36'x90' addition along Paterson St. The addition cost $22,000 to construct. A bakery was housed here during the 1930s. According to building permits, the structure's main block was built for the C.G. McGlashan Wholesale Bakery in 1917. This independent bakery was shortlived because by 1919, the building was a branch of the Occident Baking Company, with McGlashan serving as the branch manager. In 1926, the building was purchased by Louis Gardner, Sr. who then organized the Gardner Baking Company. The next year, Gardner expanded his operation by constructing a rear addition and, two years later, hired Philip Homer to design the southwest addition. The Gardner Baking Company operated in this facility until 1952 at which time it moved to another location. A Permit for demolition will be filed on November 1, 2021. 2021 - Resurveyed. Two stories with central three-story tower, brick, minimal detailing, 1.5-story wing, flat roof, stone sills, paired replacement windows. |
