| Additional Information: | Carl Ferdinand Schlungbaum built a small brick home on this lot where he and his wife, Louisa, raised four children with the sleeping quarters upstairs. In recent years, this building was a dressmaker's shop, a photography studio, and is now the office of the Sauk Prairie Eagle, a weekly newspaper. Behind this building is a common Concord grape vine, unique because it was planted more than 100 years ago. Beside this building was once a garden composed of native plants, many now threatened or endangered, that Schwenker and Derleth brought back from their many walks observing the seasons in the surrounding hills and fields. |
