507-513 Broadway, Sheboygan Falls
(Numbers 12-13-14 on Virtual Tour)


Before Renovation


After Renovation
 
  During the early history of Sheboygan Falls, a long frame building stood in the 500 block of west Broadway extending from Pine Street north.  In the early 1850s this building was occupied by tin-smiths, a drug store and a flour and feed store.  When the Joseph Osthelder Saloon was built (see 513 Broadway #14), the wood frame structure was moved to Buffalo Street immediately north of the railroad tracks and housed a wagon shop.  The entire west side of Broadway was historically restored in 1994-1995 and now houses six storefronts as well as upper office suites and apartments.
 

507 Broadway
Historically known as the William Sully's Dry Goods Store and the Rex Candy Store, the dry goods store was built in 1878 and the candy shop added in 1915.  The first floor was completely remodeled as a bank in the 1920s.  Wally's Studio and "A Piece of Cake" operate from this storefront today.

509-511 Broadway
Constructed in 1878, these two-story brick Victorian commercial structures match the styling of 507 and 513 Broadway storefronts.  The structure originally housed the William Thiemann Grocery Store and the E.P. Bryant Drug Store.  Salon 511now operates from one storefront.  The next storefront is home to Edward Jones Investments.

513 Broadway
Built in 1878 at the same time as 507-511 Broadway, this two-story cream city brick Victorian building is located on the main corner of the downtown historic district.   It matches 507-511 Broadway in design, but also features an original storefront with cast iron column and ca. 1915 prism glass transoms.  The building still houses a tavern named after the structures original tenant - the Joseph Osthelder Saloon complete with hardwood floors and tin ceilings.
