Property Features
Sanborn maps indicate that the main block and the gabled (south) wing of this structure were constructed between 1919 and 1929. It was the office of the Ott Coal Company, which opened a coal yard adjacent to the Chicago & North Western Railroad tracks during the 1920s. According to a 1945 Sanborn, the coal yard consisted of several coal bins and a coal elevator (all were razed sometime after 1987). The eastern additions were constructed after 1945. In the 1980s, the building was part of the West Bend Monument Company. It is currently vacant.
