This structure was built in 1911 by the Badger Furnace Company. Originally engaged in the manufacture of furnaces, Badger Furnace ceased production around 1923 to become a wholesaler of heating and sheet metal products as well as a manufacturer of postcard racks and washing machines. By 1938 the company had entered the roofing and siding market. During the WWII, part of the plant was converted for residential use, a use it retained until 1975 when the entire plant was coverted for storage purposes. The structure consists of a large double storied iron clad framed building with flat roof and a smaller single story gabled structure to the west. |
