Joseph Bosch, C. 1903

Joseph Bosch was born in Baden, Germany in 1850. [3] He emigrated to New York with his family when he was four, then moved to Wisconsin at the age of twelve, [3] where his father was a brewer. [4] In 1867, the family moved to Lake Linden; there, Bosch worked as a miner of the Calumet & Hecla company. [3] However, he harbored the desire to become a brewmaster, and travelled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to work at the Schlitz Brewery, then on to Cleveland, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky before returning to Lake Linden in 1874 [4] to found the Torch Lake Brewery. [3] Two years later he admitted business partners and changed the name to Joseph Bosch & Company. [4] In 1894 he again changed the name, this time to Bosch Brewing Company, [4] and in 1899 the brewery was the largest in the Upper Peninsula, [3] with a capacity of 60,000 barrels annually. [4]

Bosch was also the president of Lake Linden's First National Bank, organized in 1888, and participated in various mercantile enterprises, including those carried on in the Joseph Bosch Building. [4]

History

In May 1887, fire swept through the village of Lake Linden, affecting 75% of the structures then within the village and completely destroying many. [3] Joseph Bosch suffered a substantial amount of property loss. [3] After the disaster, the village council decreed a fire prevention zone, within which structures had to be constructed of brick or stone, and roofed with fireproof materials. [3] In particular, this zone covered the first three blocks of Calumet Street, where the Joseph Bosch Building now stands. In the late 1800s, Bosch built three structures in this area: the Bosch Bottling Works at 347 Third Street, the First National Bank at 346 Third Street, and the Joseph Bosch Building at 302 Calumet Street. [3]

The Joseph Bosch Building was constructed in 1887, immediately after the fire. [3] It originally housed the N. Reding Company, [3] which was partially owned by Bosch. In 1892, Bosch bought out Reding, and in 1893 re-incorporated the business as the Poull Mercantile Company, managed by Bosch's brother-in-law N. G. Poull. [4] In 1902, the company was sold to the Lake Linden Co-op. [4] Over the next few years, a number of other businesses used the building, including and Edward Lieblein's wholesale grocery [2] and an indoor archery range. [5]

In 1916, [2] Greek immigrants Louis Grammatiskakia and James Pamopallis bought the building, combining their previously separate candy-making businesses. [3] They remodelled the building into a restaurant, christened The Lindell, and installed plate glass windows in the front and remodelled the interior in an Arts and Crafts style. [3] The new restaurant opened in 1918. [2]

The business was sold to two brothers, John and Angelo Gekas, who ran it for 43 years. [5] Then, In 1977, Richard and Frances Grunow purchased the building, and it continues to be well-maintained and operated as a restaurant. [3]

Description

The Joseph Bosch Building is a two-story Italianate [3] commercial building with two entranced and a recessed center second-story entrance on the front facade. [3] It sits on a stone foundation with a full basement and has a flat roof. [2] The building has plate glass windows in the first floor and arched windows on the second story with decorative brick and stone hoods with prominent keystones. [3] The windows are arranged in two banks of four, with a single window in the narrow recess the north side, altering the symmetry of the facade. [2] An ornate metal cornice lines the top of the building. [3] A 1920s era sign made of metal and neon advertising the Lindell Chocolate Shoppe hangs in front of the building. [3]
