213 N. Kinsley Ave History
Mr. Ernest Ferar constructed the building in 1898 as the Vienna Bakery. It remained a bakery until the 1940s when Sears moved in. Over the next forty years, it hosted a variety of department stores (Krause’s, Lehman’s, and a Montgomery Ward catalog order center). Read more about the history by clicking this link.
Current Owners
Brian and Lori Law bought the property in 2017 and worked to recreate the old-time charm the storefront had lost over the years through various remodels. They reinstated the patterned-tin ceilings, added vintage light fixtures, painted the facade, and decorated the store with antiques and motor-related memorabilia. Guests frequently comment on how the store makes them feel as if they’ve stepped back in time. The Laws are now ready to retire and looking for a new owner to add to the building’s legacy.
