| Additional Information: | Assessor’s information cites a 1920 date of construction for the building but there is no substantiation to that date. Sanborn maps would indicate that the building was built by 1894. The building took on the North Woods Rustic appearance after it was remodeled by Book World, which occupied the store circa 1980. |
