Additional Information: | The Burlington Building & Loan Association was chartered in 1923. Frank H. Schwaller served as the association’s first president; Martin Schroeder, vice-president; L. C. Cunningham, secretary; and Otto Klein, treasurer. These four initial officers also served as directors along with Henry Rueter, L. J. Stang, Rev. J. A. VanTreek, E. John Wehmhoff, and Leo Zwiebel. The Burlington Building & Loan Association was first located on the second floor of the Schwaller Building at 484 N. Pine Street. By the mid-twentieth century, the association changed its name to the Burlington Savings & Loan Association and, in 1958, moved to the ground floor of the Finke Building at 597 Pine Street. The office of Burlington Savings & Loan moved again in 1963 to the Klingele-Fenn Block at 149 E. Chestnut Street. Burlington Savings & Loan constructed a new office building on Chestnut Street in 1972 at 197 W. Chestnut Street. Today, the building houses Odyssey Hospice |
