| Additional Information: | This building is now owned by the owners of the building next door at 201-205 E. Main St. and it is included with that building in a combined tax parcel. At some point in time the first stories of these two buildings were both remodeled and given the same design treatment. This probably happened towards the end of the period of ownership of the Weisensel family, which owned and developed both buildings The buildings were interconnected internally during this period. |
