KOHL'S MONONA GROCERY STORE
The old Kohl's Grocery Store at 4207 Monona Dr. has been added to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Ir was built in 1968 and has been the Habitat for Humanity ReStore since 2014. "The building is an excellent representative of mid-century Contemporary architecture that utilizes glue-laminated arches to achieve its distinctive arched roof without the use of interior columns or other vertical supports" the Wisconsin Historical Society wrote in its statement announcing the designation. "The building represents the signature design employed by Kohl's Food stores throughout the 1950s and 2960s and is one of the best remaining examples of the company's standardized supermarket design remaining in the state."
