The Limbach Block refers to the retail center of the village of Clinton in Summit County, Ohio located on Main Street. [2] The National Park Service listed the Limbach Block Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2001. [3] The anchor business of the Limbach Block was the Limbach Brothers Shoe Manufacturing Company owned by Martin, Adam, and Jacob Limbach. According to the 1880 U.S. Census Products of Industry, the Limbach Brothers business was worth $8,900 and produced $500 worth of shoes and boots, indicating it was the most valuable business in the village.

In 1874, the Limbach Brothers, local shoemakers, acquired Lots 19 and 20 of Main Street. In 1875, county tax records [4] indicate the Limbachs razed a structure on Lot 20 and in the summer of 1877 [5] began construction on a three-story Block building on Lot 20 that would serve as their factory and retail outlet into the early 20th century. The Limbachs expanded their operation in 1899 when they acquired Lot 18 from Franklin Maranville, a tinsmith. [6] In 1903, Martin Limbach et al incorporated the Clinton Savings Bank and housed the operation in a corner of the Limbach Shoe Store. [7]

Seth Richards Commercial Block United States historic place

The Seth Richards Commercial Block, also known as the Lederer-Strauss Building, is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Its construction represents the transition of Court Avenue from a retail center to the city's wholesale district. Seth Richards had acquired the property that had been the location of several business houses. One of the lots had been owned by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The four-story, brick, Romanesque Revival building was constructed in two parts. The commercial blocks at 300-302 and 304-306 were completed and occupied in 1890, and 308-310 was completed and occupied by 1897. Various wholesale clothing firms occupied the various blocks, but by 1920 Lederer, Strauss & Co., Inc., a millinery fabricator and wholesaler, occupied the entire building. The family-run business was sold in 1944 to the Hiersteiners, who incorporated the business as the Landsco Millinery Co. The business was scaled back, and they occupied less of the block, which was filled with other wholesalers by the mid-1950s. In 1957 the Landsco Millinery Co. was liquidated. The building has been converted for other retail uses in the Court Avenue Entertainment District after this area ceased being a wholesale center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
