| Additional Information: | Built from saddle mound sandstone from quarry near City Point in Jackson Co. Goodyear Lumber closed 1917. 2023: This 1890, one-story, former C.A. Goodyear Lumber Company office building has a rectangular plan and a stone foundation. The building has a hip roof with a gable corner entrance clad in asphalt shingles. The building is composed of rough-faced stone. Windows are primarily infilled with concrete. The front (northwest) facade features a corner entrance with a gable pediment and a fanlight above the door. A decorative arch keystone reads “1890,” and a decorative stone in the gable end features the letter “C.” The facade also has a row of four windows infilled with concrete block, each with a six-light transom. The side (northeast) elevation also has three windows infilled with concrete block. The side (southeast) elevation has an overhead garage door to the east of the corner entrance. The roof was replaced, the windows infilled, and the southeast elevation windows replaced with a garage door at an unknown date. Darius A. Goodyear and his son, Charles A. Goodyear, established the C.A. Goodyear Lumber Company in 1876 in southeastern Jackson County. Sources indicate that in 1883, Goodyear moved its main office to Tomah, likely the subject location, and its planing mill (nonextant) to the east side of present-day Glendale Avenue, but its lumber mill remained in Jackson County. Sources do not indicate if Goodyear used a building other than the subject building as its main office between 1883 and 1890. Goodyear left Tomah in 1917, and the office is the only extant Goodyear property. Sources do not indicate its use after 1917. |
