Additional Information: | Historical/Architectural Survey: Heritage Research Ltd., 2005 August Schmidt built the side-gabled structure as his blacksmith shop. His son Fred, who joined him in business, added the garage wing to house a gas/service station. It continued as a gas/service station until 1934, when a new station was erected across the street. The subject building remains in the Schmidt family, owned by August's great-granddaughter Val Iverson, and houses Tichigan Lake Realty. |
