Little Storefront Has Served Many Purposes

Reference: Visit website

This little storefront stood on the corner of Park Avenue and Napoleon Street in Fremont before 1914. Directories list it as the Musser Company, which made mattresses, and it also was the home of the German Aid Society. The Knights of Columbus building occupied this corner by the 1920s, and it looks much the same today a century later. Several businesses have been in the old lodge hall, and a new restaurant specializing in serving chunk chicken lunches has recently opened there. (Submitted by Larry Michaels and Krista Michaels)
