History
The land the building sits on was once the site of a cabin that belonged to Henry F. Janes,[2] one of the first settlers in the area, and the person after whom Janesville is named. The building was originally owned by Thomas Lappin, who had previously owned another building on the same spot. Over the years, tenants of the building included what would become Northwestern Mutual. Several other tenants, including grocers, banks, attorneys and physicians, occupied it. In 1899, it was purchased by Dennis and Michael Hayes.
