Built in 1854, the Taylor House/American House, originally served as a hotel. Henry Edward “Ed” Peters began operating his business at this location in 1896. Various family members assisted in the running of the businesses housed there; tavern, arcade, bowling alley, Rousch’s Market, Peters Market. Another local family operated Peters Market from 1967-1979. From the ’80s till the present, the lower level has housed many operations including the Rocking Horse (craft store), Mrs. G’s Game Room, an office supply store, Team Heating and Cooling, and Edward Jones just to name a few. In 2019, the city of Edgerton sold the property to Edgerton Community Outreach for $1. ECO partnered with GMK Architecture, Inc. and Bachmann Construction to evaluate the building. Renovation is officially complete! View the construction updates throughout the process!
