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. |

325 West Front (Oregon Milk Company Grade A Plant/Pure Milk Assn.)
|
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. |
