Olson building, it is very likely to have been constructed by the same builder since they share similar features. This building is also a Neo-Classical Revival style. Tollef Lewis operated a furniture business here as well as a barbershop and undertaking business. Gordon and Patricia Lofgren moved to McFarland in 1961 when he started his dentistry practice in the building. Eventually, Gordon retired and it continues to house a family dentist. The Lofgrens restored the exterior in 1990 and own the building in 2015." -"Historic McFarland: A Walking Tour" booklet, Third printing, published by the McFarland Historical Society, (March 2016). |
