| Additional Information: | The building cost $7,500 originally. The first known occupant of this building was Leisenfelder-Schwister Co. It was a clothing store operated by Clarence Schwister and Ervin Wezel. By 1930, Mrs. Ida Kunkel was operating a furniture store on the premises. Approximately ten years later, the Cream City Heating & Supply Company had moved into the building and, by 1965, another retail clothing store was in business. The structure has since been converted to a church. |
