History
Looking west
The land that the district now sits on was once home to the Ho-Chunk and the Menominee.[2] Among the businesses that sprung up in the district was what became the Montello Granite Company. Granite from Montello would be used to construct several monuments and memorials to the soldiers of the American Civil War.[3] It was also used to build the tombs of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia Grant.
gollark: It *might* allow somewhat faster typing (this is pretty disputed, and the claim that QWERTY is designed to slow you down is inaccurate; as far as I know it was actually designed to spread out frequently pressed keys on the keyboard to prevent jamming), but all my stuff is configured for QWERTY, everyone *else's* stuff (which I may have to use) also is, and it would take a lot of effort to learn it.
gollark: People talk about DVORAK a nonzero amount, but I use QWERTY on everything because I don't see a significant benefit to switching.
gollark: Œkay.
gollark: I should really see if it has a dark theme or not.
gollark: Hi.
