The Vorous General Store, built in 1895 in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, is a Commercial Italianate structure that served as the third store to open in the community. Levi Vorous constructed the building, which features characteristic Italianate detailing including a metal cornice with corner brackets and dentils, along with decorative cast iron fixtures and a cast iron beam separating its two stories. The store remained under Vorous family ownership until 1920, when Levi's widow Rachel sold it to Henry Eckert, Henry Stenzel, and Carl Seiler. From 1932 to 1959, the building functioned as Fish Creek's post office, with Seiler serving as the first postmaster. The store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 1997, and is also registered with the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places.
