  • Notes 
    • King Street, Kitchener

      Eby to Cedar Street

      On the corner a one and one-half story frame building, lengthwise with King Street, occupied by Adam Jaeckel as a bakery. Jaeckel had a high reputation as a baker and guarded the secret of his process. The story is that he had his bake-oven in the basement of the building, where in the evening he would set dough for about forty loaves of bread. He would then put the cover on the baking trough and sleep on it. When the dough would rise sufficiently, about three or four o'clock in the morning, it would wake him. He would then proceed with his baking and later go fishing, of which he was very fond. Later on this building, painted drab, was used by Town Constable Joachim.

      A garden.

      A one and one-half story building lengthwise with King Street occupied by John Heller in 1843 as a jewelry and watchmaking shop.

      Residence occupied by Philip Moogk, as cabinetmaker and carpenter.

      A two story frame building with gable facing King Street, occupied by Gottlieb Ratliman, a tailor. The same building was used 1850-55 as a tavern by a Mr. Jahn, Bandmaster Kayser occupied one end of the building after 1864. Kayser also had a saloon and beer garden, the latter a place of general entertainment during the summer months, with concerts, dances, etc.
