From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Storage building on Caroline Street

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" is a photo of the Peterson-Hendee Co. storage warehouse that used to be located on Caroline Street.

It was used to store flour, grain, and animal feed and also served as a mill. The president of the company was one John R. Peterson.

On July 13,1908 there was a fire in one of the nearby apartments that damaged the building, though the warehouse remained mostly intact. The warehouse remained open until 1930.
