| Additional Information: | Adjacent building at 803-805 W. Mitchell also located on this parcel (AHI 225584). This building was built circa 1890 and in its early years was the home of the Polish Publishing Company and then a saloon. In 1924, the building was home of Fred Westermann’s restaurant and the Maple Leaf Athletic Club, but by 1930, it would be converted into a clothing store. Turnover, thereafter, was frequent and included a radio store, jewelry shop and clothing store. |
