Additional Information: | GABLED PROJECTING VEHICLE ENTRANCE 2016- "Originally built as a tobacco warehouse, the Edwards brothers bought this building in 1896 to be used as a warehouse for their farm implement and hardware business. In the 1980's, Michael Zirkel bought it and made it into a bicycle repair and sales shop. He also collected discarded bikes that he reconditiouned and shipped to poor countries. Zierkel greatly altered the building when he made it into a two flat but it is included again because of its significance for local history." -"Historic McFarland: A Walking Tour" booklet, Third printing, published by the McFarland Historical Society, (March 2016). |
