524-544 N. Cleveland Ave. – Brandt Building

Built in 1920-1921, this one-story commercial building occupies half of a city block. As early as 1906, the home of the Lucas and Nettie Brandt family was situated on the site. Mr. Brandt served as Mayor in 1894 and later as manager of the Loveland Milling & Elevator Company.

The Loveland Reporter, the Loveland Rubber Works, a furniture establishment, and the Salvation Army Hall operated from this location at one time or another. Rice Mortuary occupied the building from 1933 to 1950. City Newsstand has been in the business here from the early 1970s to the present.
