History
“During the 1890s, many Romanesque Revival mixed-use buildings began springing up in Pilsen. With primary facades that are fully clad in limestone, the structures convey a sense of strength or permanency. A two-story example at 1714 S. Ashland Ave. features alternating courses of smooth and rusticated limestone with a handsome entryway nestled into an arched opening. Rising from its flat stone parapet features are two fanlike carved details, one framed within a pediment, and the other in a curved panel. Built in 1894, the building originally housed the publishers of the Dziennkl Polski Gazette and the A. Wohl Co. embroidery firm.” – Report, Pilsen Historic District (PDF)
