- Description
This commercial vernacular structure was built in 1873 by William Dierks for John V. Kelsey. Kelsey was a dealer in dry goods. He also partnered with T. R. Young in buying and selling grains. This building has housed a number of businesses. It is part of the Main Street Commercial Historic District. At the time of the survey, Lorraine's Jewelry and Gift Shop occupied the building.
The Reedsburg Historic Survey was conducted from October 1983 through April 1984 by the City of Reedsburg and community volunteers. The project was funded, in part, by a National Park Service and U. S. Department of the Interior grant, administered by the Historic Preservation Division of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The surveys and accompanying photographs, housed at the Reedsburg Public Library, were compiled to determine National Register of Historic Places eligibility.
