Notes
  • Written history of site included in field notes

The land was purchased by Peter Jonas, a prominent local politician and saloon keeper, in 1876, and was sold by Jonas to Jacob Wohlfarth in 1884. Wohlfarth, a former Menger Hotel chef, established a general merchandise business and campyard here at what later became known as "five points." The building was also home to Wolhfarth and his family. Wohlfarth operated his store until 1913, and lived on the property until 1923. Other early tenants of the building included the Five Points Drug Store, the Five Point Lunchroom, Piggly Wiggly #18, and Schlussler's Cafe...
