| Additional Information: | 2021: Identified in the 2006 intensive survey report as the FJ Heuer Motor Company. Following review of Sanborn maps, city directory information (note that this building was previously addressed as 1515 S. 12th) and newspaper articles, this building was not a car showroom. That building was located south of the subject building, where the funeral home is located today.
The subject building was built in 1916 by August W. Grams and utilized as an ice cream parlor. In 1919, Grams joined George Grasshorn and started a real estate and fire insurance business, which they then also operated out of the building. Grams sold the building and ice cream business to A.W. Friederichs in 1920. Two years later, druggist Wiliam Schroeter moved into the building. In addition to drug store operations, he also sold cigars, cigarettes, candy, ice cream and stationery. |
