Additional Information: | Four story orange brick with inset stone trim; commercial style, first floor somewhat altered. This narrow four story warehouse was constructed in 1911 on the southwest corner of Broadway & Menomonee Streets in the busy Third Ward commercial/warehouse district. Designed by Carl Ringer, the 20' x 80' brick building was owned by Clemens H. Kalvelage, whose occupation was not given in the City Directory. By 1921 Koehler-Clemens, a wholesale coffee and tea company, and Forster Label Works were using the warehouse, joined in the 1930s by R.T. Morgenthalen, another wholesale firm, and Printer's Rule Company. By 1958 the first floor had become a tavern and factory. Following a brief occupancy by a table and chair manufacturer, H.F. Auler Co., a wholesale hobbies and crafts business was located in the next block had its office and warehouse here. Upper floors have been converted into loft apartments. |
