| Additional Information: | Built for Dr. Henry M. Hittner. Dr. Hittner was a progressive physician for his day. He constructed his building to act as his office, home and, following a very popular movement in the medical profession of his day, he established a twenty bed infirmary in the building. Dr. Hittner died in 1892 and his practice died with him. His widow rented the building out until she died in 1902. Next, it was a drug store, in the 1930s and 1940s, and it was the Jansky Funeral Home. In the late 1940s and 1950s, the building housed a beauty shop and an army surplus store. In the late 1960s, Arvy Rihi established a restaurant there. (2003). |
