| Additional Information: | 650 Mill Buildings Valley Supply - the right, easternmost building of a contiguous papermill complex, this four-story brick rectangle has a shallow gabled roof. A utilitarian structure, it had four bays of segmentally-arched windows in its roadside endwall. Reduced with brick to raised, vertical openings infilled with glass block, they retain their displaced, original stone sills. The left and right windows in the first story have been enlarged and infilled with glass block. A two-story, recessed, stone slab-lined entry eliminated the center windows of the first and second stories. The visible, east sidewall has ten bays of vertical windows, also reduced and raised with brick and infilled with glass block. The left two odd-sized windows in the second story have metal frames. The enlarged right, rear opening in the first story has metal door which opens onto a dock and walkway that extends the length of the building and which along six bays is shielded by a flat-roofed wooden canopy supported by pipes. Four story altered brick Industrial building with altered stone "portal". Begun in 1857 by A.K. Moore as the Neenah Stove Works. The foundry became best known as the Bergstrom Brothers Foundry. Begun by D.W. and George Bergstrom and Havilah Babcock, the foundry operated from 1876 to 1948 under the Bergstrom name. 1996- "Rising four stories and constructed of brick, this low-pitch, gabled industrial building featurs a prominent two-story entrance surround. The rectangular window openings have all been altered with glass block, and a flat-roof overhang runs along the north half of the east wall, sheltering what appears to be a loading dock. The structure was built in 1857 and historically was associated with the Neenah Stove Works and Bergstrom Bros. Stove Works; however, "Valley Supply Corporation" is painted along the east side of the building, beneath the fourth-story fenestration. The structure currently appears vacant." -"Main St Overpass: Neenah, WI", WisDOT#4993-00-70, Prepared by Heritage Research, Ltd., (1996). |
