House of Wisconsin Cheese in Madison, Dane County, United States | Cheese

House of Wisconsin Cheese was opened by Anton Jager in the 1930's at 101 S. Hamilton Street on the Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin, in the United States.   It was opened as "Tony's House of Wisconsin Cheese" and operated then as a meat market and delicatessen.
Jim &  Marcie Peschel took over the store in the 60's and at one point in the 70's or early 80's, an eight foot Fiberglass Mouse found its way atop the doorway of that store, and became an icon for visitors and residents alike. Son Mike Peschel may have had something to do with that appearance.
Mike moved the House of Wisconsin Cheese to its current location in 1989. Alas, city fathers deemed the mouse 'not in keeping with the ambience of State Street' and it was retired, now residing in Waterloo, Wisconsin at Jim's Cheese Pantry. Jeff Price took over House of Wisconsin Cheese in 1995, and has been expanding on all of Mike's marketing ideas ever since.
