107 South Washington Street (Andrew (A.A.) Huseth House) - demolished
Picture
107 South Washington Street
This frame Foursquare house was constructed for Andrew Huseth in 1913 (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls). It is a simple example of a Foursquare and has been asbestos-sided. The piers that supported the Doric porch columns have been lost. This property was owned by Andrew Huseth from 1911 until at least 1920, by Johnson Brothers from at least 1925 to at least 1940, by Issac Bjelde in 1945, by Fred Wittwer from at least 1950 until at least 1970, by A. Riemenapp in 1975, and Charles and Lorraine Steinhauer since at least 1980 (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls). The Huseth House is not individually eligible for historic designation.

108 South Washington Street
This frame side-gabled house was constructed for Henry Allen in 1883 (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls; Blue Mounds Weekly News, July 17, 1883). This modest house has been aluminum-sided. This property was owned by Henry Allen from 1883 until 1893, by Anna Opheim from 1893 until 1898, by Mrs. William Dunn from 1898 until at least 1920, by Fred Wistel from at least 1925 until at least 1935, by Mrs. John Huseth in 1940, and by Gayload Sutter at least 1945 (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls). The Allen House is not eligible for historic designation.


325 West Front (Oregon Milk Company Grade A Plant/Pure Milk Assn.)
Picture
Picture
325 West Front Street
This astylistic utilitarian brick-veneered plant was erected in four stages. The first section was built to serve as a receiving plant for grade A milk for the Oregon Milk Company in 1949 (The Mount Horeb Centennial Book, 1861-1961, p. 59). In 1953, Pure Milk Association of Chicago bought the plant and enlarged it to house a powdered milk division. Another addition was made in 1958. Associated Milk Producers, Inc. (AMPI) merged with Pure Milk Association in 1969. In 1985, it was still a shipping and receiving plant for powdered and condensed milk (Mount Horeb Presettlement to 1986, p. 36). In 1996, the complex housed Paper Recycling of Wisconsin. The Oregon Milk Company complex probably is not eligible for historic designation.
