  • Notes 
    • Emil Vogelsang met Matthias Riener in New York City in 1873 and invited him to locate in Berlin. When Mr. and Mrs. Riener learned that there was a Swedenborgian Church here they decided to come over. Mr. Riener had learned the cutter's trade in Vienna and after his arrival here he began business as a merchant tailor in Berges & Shelley's former stand in Frederick Street. In 1893, Mr. Riener rebuilt the structure. The contractor piled 15,000 bricks in the street. One Saturday morning, the farmers' wagons caused a traffic jam. A ruffled citizen summoned Chief Winterhalt, who ordered Wm. Polomski, mason-tender, to remove the bricks. "Ja, Ja," said William, "before you kin with to King Street und beck the pricks vill be avay."
