Henry Hummel Building, 925 Wisconsin Ave Boscobel, Grant County, WI

The Henry Hummel Building is one of eleven two and three-story stone-clad commercial buildings that line the length of Wisconsin Avenue in Boscobel. These buildings were built between 1867 and 1904, and the earliest of them are vernacular examples of the Italianate Commerical style. The two-story Hummel Building is a fine, simple, representative example of these earlier buildings and it is unusual in still retaining most of its historic storefront. In addition, there is also a large two-story stone outbuilding in the rear that is now attached to the main building by a later one-story hyphen. The Henry Hummel Building is considered to be a contributing resource in the proposed Boscobel Downtown Historic District. See HABS No. WI-333 for the historic and architectural context of Downtown Boscobel and HABS No. WI-334 for information on the S.E. Mattison Building, 921 Wisconsin Avenue.
