• Notes

  In early 1903 Emil Schierholtz and his partners began construction on their new furniture factory at the corner of Willow and Allen Streets, in the growing residential neighbourhood......Although the Schierholtz furniture factory was completed and occupied by the end of 1903, the new venture didn't last long. The book New Hamburg as it Really Was, by Ernest F. Ritz, recounts how a 1907 fire at the factory prompted Schierholtz & Co. to move its operations to New Hamburg. Financial incentives offered to Schierholtz by New Hamburg also played a part in that transaction.... https://maryallenstories.blogspot.ca/ 2012
