Stout was a pioneer in the area and owned an early hotel and tavern which was moved (known as Stout House). This structure is possibly related to that tavern, although the connection has not been proven. There also is long ownership by the Evangelical Lutheran Church (1866-1906), and it is known that they had a church ediface on Monroe St. after 1867, but a specific location is not mentioned. | |||||
