NOTES
Additional Information:Although tax rolls suggest that the original part of this Astylistic comples dates from 1926, its appearance suggests an earlier date. Between 1926 and 1946 this building was owned by the Laverne Burmester Mfg. Co. and its various manifestations, including the Bur-Hi Mfg. Co., Bur-Hi Artcraft Co., and the Burmester Housing Corp. In 1950, it was owned by the King Midas Flour Mills, so presumably the mill portion is a later addition to the original building. 2024: No longer extant.
