Bethia Hardware Candy, Cigar Store, and Residence

The next building down is also very unique here. But it is slightly even more different. This building served three purposes, selling products and also hosting as a residence. What is also interesting about these buildings, is the houses that are built next to the business buildings as well. Today it is Stilt House Gastro and Bar.

Built in 1871, this building was initially used as a residence. The structure, made from Cream City Brick from Milwaukee, was added to the structure in 1886. Its two entrances show that it is also constituted as a business along with the residential part of the building. One window is of particular importance to the building's historic nature. Look at the window, and take note that it is an eyelet window that is hanging over the south door of the building. The clapboard and baseboards that are still visible on the building are entirely original to the structure of the building.
