Additional Comments
Destroyed by fire 1/12/1991. One of the finer apartment houses of teh late 19th century along W. Wisconsin Ave. The brick building is accented with stone belt courses and multiple projecting bays. The first floor has been altered to the detriment of the strucutre's character, although the stone arched entry can still be seen on the W. Wisconsin Avenue facade.
