Advanced Quality
Signs Advanced Quality signs was a part of Consoer Lettering and split off into its own being. Eventually, the company grew to the point where it moved to this location on Hwy 70. This building was originally constructed by Loren Andersen to house the Snowmobile Hall of Fame. Loren sold the building in 2001 to David Consoer, owner of Advanced Quality Signs. After several years the business and building were sold to Ron Halstrom of Minoqua. Halstrom sold the building and it now holds Pier North. Top AmericInn Fiasco Site  This is located next to the Phillips' House on Hwy 70 East and was once property that went with the house. An AmericInn was supposed to be constructed here. However, the builder apparently ran afoul of the DNR regarding the cutting of trees too close to the lake (Little St. Germain), an unsuitable septic system plan, then ran out of money. The mess remains as the would-be builder left it, another sad footprint in the town's march to progress. Top Anchor Inn This was built by Charles Marquardt on the far end of West Bay of Little St. Germain Lake where the channel enters into No Fish Bay. He purchased the land for the resort from George Phillips in 1955 and started construction in 1957. He moved here permanently in 1960 and ran the lodge for many years. He eventually sold the Anchor Inn to his brother-in-law and sister, Bill and Edna Fligel. They eventualy sold it to a person who's first name was Bob (last name unknown). he operated it for about three years and Bradley Waldmann purchased it. He converted the lodge into apartments which he rented for a couple years then tore it down. Bradley's home is now on the this lot. Top Anderson's Restaurant  This was built by Walter Anderson and operated by his wife. There is some confusion as to whether his restaurant was called Anderson's Restaurant or Walter's Restaurant. Marlene Bartelt, Walter's neice, says it was neither one. It's actual name was St. Germain Restaurant. It also contained the early St. Germain Chamber of Commerce and had a rack of pamphlets concerning the various resorts and businesses. It was one of the first four commercial buildings in the mall/junction area. The exact year it was built is not known. George Laumer purchased it and operated a liquor store in it for several years. It was eventually purchased by Bruce Weber and his wife, Mary, operated a gift shop in it. In time, it was moved away to make room for the parking area of the new Camp's Super Valu building (First Grocery). Top Angry Dave's Information on this is found under The Boxer. Top |
