This is the first building you pass on E. Main. In 140+ years it's seen a wide variety of uses. In 1948 D. F. Klingler purchased the building from the Mickelson estate and established Home Loan Company office on the second floor.

The construction date can be seen at the top of the building.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
