Note from Web Page editor
Seneca Main Street has been has been granted the status of a
"History District". This building in which Seneca Furniture
business is located is part of that Historic District. According to
the write-up that the Architect gave on the application for Historic
district as follows: "This one-story brick building was
recorded as a dry goods store in the 1896 and 1901 Sanborn insurance
maps. The Burnett name is presented in the metal eave cornice.
From before 1911 to 1939, this business was listed as the Strathman-Firstenberger Racket Store in fire insurance records.
Joseph H. Strathman was the property owner in 1954 and 1965.".
There is even more
history which we will endeavor to research and add here as we learn
more about the building. I am told it at one tie the Heideman
Locker, Sears Catalogue Store, .Krotzingers Bakery, and Mrs..
Turners Small bake and Coffee Shop. These may not be in the
correct order and some may have been missed, however perhaps
some of you readers may know more and may be able to add more
information.
Take a look at Main Street in the early part of the 1900s of late 1800's
