| Additional Information: | When first surveyed in 1975 this building was sided in wide wood clapboards. It was resurveyed in 2021, by which time it had been resided in vinyl and a series of large new show windows had been inserted into both its north-facing Center St. side elevation and its southeast-facing Beloit St. main facade. These changes happened between 2013 and 2021 but many changes had already occurred before 2013. Sanborn-Perris maps show that this building assumed its present triangular plan between 1894 and 1904. The octagonal plan element above the main entrance is a much later addition, definitely after 1930 according to aerial photos of the city. 2021: This small triangular plan, one-story-tall Astylistic commercial building occupies a corner lot and it is clad in vinyl clapboards, has two large one-light display windows facing southeast onto Beloit Street and three on its north-facing Center Street side elevation. In addition, an entrance door is set into the building’s chamfered corner, and it is crowned with a polygonal element topped with a conical roof that suggests the Queen Anne style. In 1904 this building housed a meat market and 1919 it was a confectionary. |
