Century Club: Germania Maennerchor

Germania Maennerchor, a singing club dedicated to German heritage, was established in 1900 and relocated in 1910 to its current location on Fulton Avenue when the bought an old mansion just north of town.  The new clubhouse was completed and dedicated 100 years ago, so it’s your duty as a history enthusiast to attend Volksfest this weekend and drink some beer.

The growing Germania organization boomed to over 400 members necessitating a larger clubhouse, so once the mortgage on the old Lahr residence was paid off, plans were drawn by famed local architect Frank J. Schlotter during the summer of 1913.  Members enjoyed using the back of the property for entertaining (come this weekend and you can see why for yourself), so it was desired to build in front of the old home.  A two-story structure of pressed dark red brick with Kentucky limestome for trim was designed that fronted Fulton Avenue where the road narrows.  On the first floor was a reception room, billiards room, check room, ladies’ parlor and a probe zimmer (German for “tasting room”).  The upper floor had an open design and had a large hall with a stage at the northern end.  The hall, which hosted several performances, boasted a rigging loft and equipment as nice as any theater and also had dressing rooms.  The design also had a driveway where the street entrance is now that allowed members to get back to the old house.  The stage above served as a porte cochere or a covering for those dropping off members at the club’s side entrance.

Ground was broken early September 1913 and the cornerstone was laid October 19th.  A time capsule was placed inside the cornerstone, and members of other societes as well as any Germans were invited to a public ceremony of song.  The building ran a cost of $18,000 and was dedicated over a three day period May 27-29, 1914.  Crowds had to be turned away for some of the festivities, which included Mayor Benjamin Bosse speaking.

A significant remodel occurred in 1939 at which time the murals were painted. The first floor was altered and the entrance was moved to where the driveway stood. (It was originally under the third bank of windows, below the “ERC” in Maennerchor).

In 1947, the old home was torn down and a new boiler house was built in the rear.  Later, a 2nd story was added above the boiler room including a kitchen.

Red Cross Seeks Conservation Help

The Red Cross Evansville-Wabash Valley Regional Office is very fortunate to have 17 original Karl K. Knecht ink sketches on display. Knecht went to work as the cartoonist at the Evansville Courier where his first cartoon appeared in September 1906. In addition to drawing cartoons for the paper, Knecht became staff photographer in 1917 when the newspaper bought its first camera and also wrote columns and reviews. His “Say, Kay! What of Folks, Shows, Animals N’ Such” column appeared weekly from 1919 until 1954. Knecht was named director of the paper and served as vice president from 1952 to 1960. For most of Knecht’s career, his cartoons appeared seven days a week on the front page until 1954 when they were moved to the editorial page. Knecht worked for the Courier for so long that he came to be known as the “dean of editorial cartoonists”.

Knecht was also involved with the circus. He helped organize the Circus Fans Association in 1925 and was both secretary-treasurer and president of that organization and produced its magazine, White Tops. He also helped found the Mesker Zoo in Evansville after he was given a pair of lions in the late 1920s.

Knecht was a member of Sigma Delta Chi and also a founding member of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. In 1953, Knecht received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Evansville College and July 22, 1954 was proclaimed Karl Kae Knecht Day in Evansville, Indiana. He was also a supporter of numerous charitable causes and would at times use his cartoons to bring attention to these causes, with one them being the American Red Cross. His cartoons are in collections of presidential libraries for Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman and Dwight Eisenhower. He also has a very large display at the University of Evansville.

Recently, the Red Cross had two volunteers help repair a number of pictures frames. Through those efforts the Red Cross learned that the Knecht Collection did not have any conservation framing, which was resulting in the pieces deteriorating. The Red Cross is interested in finding an organization or individual who could sponsor its efforts to preserve his work. A local frame shop has offered a discounted rate to do the work, which would include new rag single mats, conservation clear glass, rag backing, dissembling them, fitting and leveling hangers.

You are invited to assist the Red Cross in its effort to preserve an important part of the history of the Evansville community. The quote with discount was $1,566.32. The Red Cross is hoping to secure funding for $1,700 so that it can create a small plaque that explains Karl K. Knetch’s relationship and passion for the American Red Cross and the Evansville community that could be put on display with his collection.

Albert F Horn established his box company around 1910 making cigar boxes.  After a fire destroyed his previous plant, Horn constructed this building in 1912 at the corner of Garfield St and Division St and opened shop.

Article from Sept 22, 1912 Courier
Article from Sept 22, 1912 Courier

It was in 1919 when Albert’s son took over the company and renamed it the Atlas Box Company.  A two-story brick addition was built in 1930 giving the building its “L” shape.

Atlas Box Co was bought out by one of the nation’s leading manufacturers Autokraft. The business was relocated, but the property was not included in the sale and was leased out. It was later purchased by Ian Lockhart whose signature was retrofitting the old windows with decorative concrete block.

Charles Pike purchased Superior Mattress and all its supplies and equipment from Waterbury, CT in 1959. The family proceeded to move the entire factory to Evansville, IN and founded Superior Mattress Co in the old Atlas Box factory. When they started their business in January 1960, there were still some cigar boxes in the building.

Superior Mattress went bankrupt and Pike sold the building in 1989. It has since been an auction house and a private club (likely when the eyes were painted on the windows).  The current owners of the building abandoned it, and it is falling apart.  The roof has collapsed in and the building is no longer safe to enter.

R. E. Nunley Truck Terminal

R E Nunley built his truck terminal warehouse on Franklin St in 1935 for his growing transfer company.  The new store which opened June 13, 1935 also boasted a retail food market, a sandwich shop, and a barber.  The company specialized in moving and storage would soon outgrow this facility and relocate.  It would later become Nunley-Gardner Transfer Co on Fulton Ave.

Southern Indiana Beverage Co established its home in the old warehouse around 1938.  They were beer distributors that served the area after Prohibition.  The company was later succeded by Vanco Beverage Co and was for a while the only distributor approved by the newly formed Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC).  It should surprise no one that beer sales, so much that Vanco needed a larger facility.  The company moved to Fulton Ave in what we believe was the old Crazy Larry’s where the new Cedar Hall now stands.

After Vanco’s stint in the warehouse, Syl Lutterbach opened his beer and wine retail business.  What make this interesting is he opened a drive-in tavern where users could get beer to go, akin to what’s still in Texas today.  One issue was that it was totally illegal, and he was forced shut down the drive through once the ABC caught wind of it.  Lutterbach was however allowed to operate his business but as a retailer only.

Salem Evangelical dates back to 1844 when a mission was begun, but it was officially established in 1853.  The German Evangelical congregation procured a lot at the corner of 8th and Division St and built a church which was dedicated April 2, 1854.

In 1873 the church was remodeled into the form seen above.  It has remained largely untouched ever since.

In 1923 a Sunday school hall was built in the rear of church along 8th St replacing an old school/rectory.

In 1946 the church becomes First Evangelical United Brethren church after merger between Evangelical and United Brethren churches. As the church became surrounded by factories downtown, it was decided to move the church to Sherman St and Van Dusen Ave on the near North side.  Ground breaking at the new church was in 1958, and the church moved soon after. In 1959 Central General Baptist Church occupies the old church.

Central General Baptist held its final service in August 1977, ending the building’s run as a church.  A physician bought it next and later around 1980 the River City Eagles Club made Salem its home for several years.

The Fraternal Order of Eagles moved ca. 2009 to Franklin St in the old Hook’s Drugstore building.  The building was then being remodeled into apartments, but that never materialized.  For the past few years the old church has found new life as the home of the Vanderburgh County CASA.

“1914” appears in the parapet in an Arts and Crafts font

Lanhuck’s Bar, torn down Thursday, didn’t get the chance to celebrate its 100th birthday, but we’ll spotlight it in our Century Club nonetheless.

The building at the corner of Columbia and Governor was built by the F W Cook Brewing Co. Breweries would often own or build saloons to sell none other than their own beer. The 2-story brick building was designed by Frank J Schlotter and had a cafe and kitchen on the 1st floor and several bedrooms and a bath on the 2nd floor. George Geier operated the saloon and lived upstairs.

The Home Realty Company (the real estate arm of Cook’s Brewery) began construction in the summer of 1914. The brickwork was done by September and the building was completed in December 13, 1914. (Note the Arts and Crafts numbering in the parapet)

Before giants like CVS and Walgreens took over, little neighborhood pharmacies were located all over the city. Francis Pharmacy was an old neighborhood pharmacy serving the northeast side. Originally in an old corner store at Stringtown Rd and Cleveland Ave (later renamed Tennessee St),  the pharmacy was one of several run by Naborhood Drugs. It served a rapidly growing part of town so much so that a larger more modern building was desired.

A handful of old buildings along Stringtown were razed.  The trapezoid lot allowed for maximum frontage along Elliott St, Stringtown Rd, and Tennesee St.  The one-story building designed by Jack R Kinkel featured plate glass in aluminum.  The pharmacy operated in the corner store until the new structure was completed, at which time it was razed for off-street parking.

Construction began in summer 1953 and it was completed by December.  A formal grand opening was held February 12 and 13, 1954.
