Information

In 1906, the B.P. Schutz Bakery and Calwell Confectionery, run by Dan Holler, were moved here from the old townsite. P.H. Wilson leased a lot for his steam laundry and C.H. Nelson bought the Fred Heineman building and moved it onto the property. In later years, these places were occupied by East and Corrin Plumbing, John Fabel Tailor, Bob Johnson Tailor, E. Willies Soft Drink Parlor, and Yale Laundry and Cleaners. By January 1930, a man named J.J. Hadler built a new building covering this space between what was City Hall and the Oveson Brick Building. The Columbia Cafe operated by Frank Synkiew was one of the first tenants. Some of the other businesses here were the Oliver Creamery, Falls Creamery, Jim Reardon's Electric Shop, Pat Lynch Tobacco Shop, Andrew Forsyth Tobacco Shop, Busy Bee Tavern, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck, Charlotte's Hair Styling, Dr. Benjamin Stone, and Steven Nelson Attorney.
