Functional Finds: Built to Work, Meant to Last

As we peel back the layers of this building, some of the most compelling discoveries aren’t decorative—they’re practical.

A Mosinee towel dispenser designed for durability and daily use.
A round mirror meant simply to do its job.
Precision-built wall and floor fixtures, hidden electrical components, and utilitarian hardware that quietly supported the rhythm of everyday life.

These pieces weren’t created to be noticed. They were built to endure—serving countless people, year after year, without fanfare. Together, they tell the story of a building designed around function, reliability, and care for the people who passed through its doors.

As we restore this space into a modern dermatology clinic, these finds remind us that good design starts with purpose. We’re honoring that legacy by blending thoughtful preservation with updated care—continuing a tradition of service, just in a new way.

Sometimes the most meaningful history is found in what worked.

Wow! Just wow! The details tell a story:

This handcrafted wood-and-glass storefront entry dates to the early 20th century, when buildings were designed to be both beautiful and functional. Tall glass panels and transom windows welcomed daylight inside, while solid wood construction reflected the durability and pride of small-town craftsmanship.

Hidden just beyond the doorway is an early electric door signal—an exposed system of coils, bells, and cloth-wrapped wiring that alerted shopkeepers the moment someone entered. Together, the door and its signal worked as a pair: one inviting the community in, the other ensuring every visitor was noticed.

As we restore this space, we’re preserving these original details to honor a time when even the simplest act of opening a door was thoughtfully designed—and carefully cared for.

This doorway stays!!

A work-in-progress moment: uncovering and preserving the original entry that has anchored this building for generations. We’re proud to blend its timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates for what comes next.

This original entry showcases early-20th-century craftsmanship, with solid wood construction, transom glass for natural light, and hand-detailed millwork designed to stand the test of time. Built to welcome customers long before modern storefronts, it remains a beautiful reminder of how thoughtfully buildings were once made. We’re honored to preserve it as we restore this space for a new chapter of care.

A Window Into Onawa’s Past

The Onawa Sentinel, October 10, 1929

Discovered during the renovation of our dermatology clinic, this original issue of The Onawa Sentinel offers a remarkable snapshot of daily life in Monona County nearly a century ago. Printed just weeks before the onset of the Great Depression, its pages capture a community focused on local events, farm life, commerce, and gathering together—unaware of the national transformation soon to unfold.

From theater announcements and farm bureau meetings to small-town headlines and advertisements, this paper reflects the rhythms of everyday life in 1929 Onawa. Its preservation within the walls of this building connects today’s work of care and service to the generations who once read these very pages.

Refurbish Spotlight! This is special!

Another fantastic find during our new office remodel.
Friday Night Lights Before the Lights
Onawa vs. Kingsley Football Game, 1925

Printed for a Friday afternoon matchup, most likely on November 20, 1925, based on the graphic design. This poster promoted a local football rivalry at a time when helmets were optional and towns turned out in full to support their teams. Affordable admission and simple design highlight the role of sports as accessible entertainment and community pride in small-town Iowa during the early 20th century.

✨ Refurbish Spotlight ✨

Every entrance tells a story. This historic door has stood the test of time, opening into countless moments—and soon, into a space dedicated to care and connection.

From the solid wood frame to the original hardware, this entry door is a beautiful example of craftsmanship meant to last.

A doorway between past and future. Sunlight, original wood, and decades of history—still standing strong as we prepare this space for what’s next.

✨A New Chapter for a
Beloved Building✨

We’re honored to be restoring one of our hometown’s historic buildings and giving it new life as a local dermatology clinic. As we peel back layers, we’re discovering stories, craftsmanship, and details that connect us to generations before us—reminders of why preserving small-town history matters.

This remodel isn’t just about creating a beautiful, modern medical space—it’s about honoring the past while building something meaningful for the future. We invite our community to follow along, share memories of this building, and be part of the journey as it transforms into a place of care, connection, and healing.

Thank you for supporting local history, local care, and what’s ahead. 🖤
