Map code is 0709-134-1413-5. "The brick-faced rubblestone building was probably built in 1871 for Heitkamp and Schmidt, wagonmakers. It served as a blacksmith shop for a number of years. William Heitkamp lived in a brick house next door to the east and John Schmidt boarded at Schlundt's house at 805."
