- Probably when Bill Scheefer, Sr. bought the building, a new storefront exterior was put on. It was a very fine looking, burgundy carrara glass surrounding the display windows. With the passing years, many of the lower panes of the carrara glass were broken and the storefront was redone Aug., 1983, with a rusticated concrete-block facing by ["Joel Munn"], mason. Two bands of carrara glass were left intact above the display windows and those lower panes that were unbroken are being saved as replacements.	+ Probably when Bill Scheefer, Sr. bought the building, a new storefront exterior was put on.
