A building that has stood for nearly 100 years near downtown Sheboygan will soon be torn down.
The Sheboygan Common Council met on Monday where they approved a contract with Scott’s Excavating to tear down the former Jakum’s Hall, located at 2601 North 15th Street.
The structure began life as the Luedke Brothers Meat Market in 1914.
That store remained in operation until 1996 when it was remodeled and made into Jakum’s Banquet Hall.
The building was purchased by the City in January, which always planned on demoing the building.
No official plans for the land have been announced.
