Description

An example of Romanesque architecture, a three story building with a large tower dominates this image. A centrally located peaked roof as well as several large gables dominate the roof line. A round turret may be seen at the rear of the structure. Arched windows and entryways can be seen on the first floor. The building was constructed of Wisconsin limestone. A streetcar is passing the front of the building. The photographer's notes indicate that he took this image in 1914. The number 1270 is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
