- Description
This commercial vernacular structure was built 1896 by the Morgan Building Company. Earlier in 1896, the old Harris and Hosler block was moved south to make room for the new structure. The first occupant of the building was the Stolte, Dangel & Foss general store. Webb & Schweke's were competitors of Stolte, Dangel & Foss. Hotel Huntley was build at about the same time. The area was called the Four Corners because of all the building activity.
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.
