Filling Station
1923
While still in operation in 1977, this building was noted as the "ol-
dest continuously operating station in Rock County." Its English
cottage design is typical of filling station architecture of the period.
Previously on this site stood a small schoolhouse owned by Ira
Miltimore. It was in use prior to the construction of a public school
on Linn Street.

ca. 1846
This is one of several buildings reportedly constructed near the
river by Ira Miltimore. Directories indicate that Reese Davis, a la-
borer, resided here between 1857 and 1862. The original architec-
tural treatment of this simple building included regularly-spaced,
rectangular windows, and returns at the eaves. Local tradition
states that 802, at the end of the block, was the first site of the
School for the Blind, of which Miltimore was a founder and
promoter.
