201 North Minnesota Doehne Block 1887
This building was erected by mill owner George Doehne in 1887. Born in Waldeck, Germany in 1834, he came to Brown County in 1861. In 1874, Doehne left the farm and moved with his family to the city, where he engaged in the lumber business and established a planing mill. About two years later, he joined with partners Jacob Pfenninger and Werner Boesch to run the Eagle Mill. He owned a grand home at 124 South German Street, now on the National Register of Historic Places.
His son-in-law, Dr. O. C. Strickler, kept his medical office on the second floor. The ground floor has held a variety of businesses, including Hemy Crone’s Dry Goods in the late nineteenth century, Mrs. Follman’s Millinery in the 1900-1920 period and Brey’s Grocery during the 30s and 40s. Alterations were made to the street front in 1980 and 1999. In 2004, Roth, Herzog, and Associates maintained offices here. (pg 48) (1)
