About this property
The Shopkeeper's Apartment in Yuba
The Shopkeeper’s Apartment in Yuba is the lower rear apartment in a 4-unit commercial brick building. The historically renovated space has a mix of old and new, with hardwood floors, a few restored wooden windows, and a full kitchen and bathroom with a walk-in shower. The apartment is located in the quaint village of Yuba (pop. 53), which is the smallest incorporated village in Wisconsin, 15 minutes (11 miles) from Hillsboro. Most days, you can grab a drink and meal next door at Louie's Bar.
This is a century+ old building that has been updated with modern amenities. The bank opened in 1919 and folded in the Great Depression. For many years, it was a restaurant, serving patrons at the dance hall next door (now Louie's Bar & Grill). The Shopkeeper's apartment was probably added to the building in the ~1940's, for the business/building owner to live in. We're breathing new life into this historic space. Enjoy the natural light and fresh air coming from a mix of restored and modern windows, as well as a backyard and grill.

About the host
Hosted by Shaun Murphy-Lopez
I grew up in northwest Iowa and northeast Missouri, and went to college at the University of Iowa. I lived in Minneapolis for 12 years until coming to Wisconsin. I enjoy restoring old buildings, raising vegetables, researching my family ancestry, reading books about American history, hiking, canoeing, bicycling, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. I like being a host because it helps us save this old building. My husband and I have worked together on restoring, designing, and cleaning these apartments. When people appreciate the old architecture and the space we've created, it makes it very rewarding :)
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because of the beautiful hills, valleys, springs, streams, farms, and villages. We found our hobby farm on a realty website in La Farge. It just happened to be close to Yuba. A few years later, I noticed this abandoned property in Downtown Yuba, and soon after Richland County put it up for sale because of unpaid property taxes. I'd dreamed of buying an abandoned brick building and restoring it, so that's how we ended up with this property in Yuba!
What makes this property unique
The idea that this was built to be an apartment for the business owner in the front of the building is one thing that makes it pretty special. But I think what makes our property unique also is that it's pretty natural. We don't have carpet, polyester sheets, or perfume cleaners (it's full of hardwood floors, cotton sheets, and more natural cleaners). I've made efforts to get fresh air into the building, restoring some of the old windows with screens and storm windows that can be exchanged. And then also the location of the property is pretty interesting as well, in the downtown of the smallest village in the state.
