"Cole built the Greek Revival store in 1848. He used the first floor for retail space and the second for living. The third floor was used by the founders of the first Temperance League in the Midwest. They would gather in disgust for the sinfulness of drinking, especially from the Germans on the west side of the river. Today a Yankee Bed & Breakfast occupies the store."
