History Spotlight: Myers Manufacturing, 1890s

Horse-drawn wagons and an electric streetcar are seen here on South Front Street in this rendering of Myers Manufacturing in the 1890s in Fremont. The company sold rubber sundries and patent novelties in this still-familiar building on the southeast corner of Front and Garrison.  Other late-Victorian storefronts in Fremont had similar architecture, including the Jackson Underwear Factory (now gone) that once continued south on Front Street and the Mazzocco Block on the northwest corner of Croghan and Arch.  This historic building is now occupied by Athletic Supply and R3 Nutrition.
