| Additional Information: | A contemporary style building, designed by architect Robert Kemp of Milwaukee, was constructed on Milwaukee Avenue by the Scherrer Construction Company in 1968 for the Red Owl Food Store at 401 Milwaukee Avenue. Red Owl closed in 1977, and Spiegelhoff’s Super Food Market moved into the building from its former location on Chestnut Street. An addition onto the building was completed in 1978. By 1986, Spiegelhoff’s became a Roundy’s Pick n’ Save and moved to a non-extant building at 1120 Milwaukee Avenue. Since 1987, the building has been occupied by Reineman’s True Value Hardware. |
