| Additional Information: | Built before 1894. "Like several other brick commercial buildings in Kaukauna designed during the 1880's and 90's, Pechman Portraits displays Romanesque elements for decoration. The most notable feature is the corbelling that follows the cornice. A series of small rounded arches form a decorative band beneath this cornice. A flat pediment rests on top of the roof. The storefront has now been altered and a metal canopy added."Walking Tour Through Old Kaukauna: Two Self-Guided Historic Tours Kaukauna, Wisconsin, City of Kaukauna, 1983.
