| Additional Information: | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. ORIGINALLY OCCUPIED BY BLACK BROTHERS GENERAL STORE, 1899-1906. RECONSTRUCTED AND ENLARGED, 1906. This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed in 1906 to house the Bonduel State Bank and Arthur Lange’s Saloon. The building is irregular in plan (in order to fit its corner lot) with red brick walls and a flat roof. The building consists of two distinct masses: the southern mass with a corner entrance that historically served as the Bonduel State Bank and a northern mass that served as a saloon (information in WHPD suggests that these building masses were constructed at separate times with the saloon portion in 1899 and the bank in 1906). The front elevation faces east and is asymmetrical in composition (historically, the front entrance was located in the cutaway southeast corner of the building, but this has since been infilled). The first story of the cutaway southeast corner and the east elevation has been reclad with brown brick with the loss of a large window in the east elevation. A picture window has been added where the original entry stood and a new recessed entrance has been added to the east elevation of the 1906 mass. The second story of this mass contains two downsized 1-over-1 windows at the second story of the east elevation and a larger, boarded-over window opening in the cutaway front corner. The east elevation of the 1899 mass contains an altered storefront at the first story (with downsized picture windows, T1-11 siding, and a vinyl awning) and a single downsized 1-over-1 window and a pair of downsized 1-over-1 windows at the second story. Both building masses feature decorative brick cornices. Regularly spaced window openings along the south elevation contain modern, downsized windows. |
