The historic building officially known as Tax Lot 2 in Block 8 of Waterloo dates to 1845 and has served many purposes over the years. Its earliest use is uncertain, though a late 1800's picture identifies it as “S. Ruegheimer Grocery.” Deed records show that John Morrison first gave the property to James Burk in 1845, and three years later it was transferred to Jolus Morrison. After six years, Morrison sold it to Henry Beadelier in 1854, and Beadelier owned it for only five days before selling it to Valentine Christman. Christman sold it about three months later to George Scmidtt, who kept it for six years before selling it to John Braun in 1860. Braun held the property for nearly 45 years, longer than any other owner. In 1899, John Braun took a 5600 loan from Herman Koch and used the deed to this property, along with 200 other acres, as collateral, with repayment due over two years at 5 percent interest. When the Brauns failed to pay any of the $600, Koch filed suit in 1901 and received the property. In 1929, Herman Koch gave the building to his son Edward Koch. During Edward Koch’s ownership, Goeddel Tire Co., operated by Al Goeddel, occupied the building. In 1932, Al Goeddel’s son Kermit bought the property and opened Kermie's Grocery Store, supplying country customers by truck and bringing back fresh produce, mostly eggs, for sale in the store. After 24 years, Goeddel sold the building to Albert Rehmer in 1956. Under Albert Rehmer’s ownership, the building housed many businesses: Reimer's Luncheonette, then Miller’s Luncheonette in 1959 operated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller, then Mom and Pop's Luncheonette two years later, Donna's Cafe from 1964 through 1968, and Willie's Meat Shop in 1969. Not long afterward, it shifted from restaurant use to retail, becoming Burmeister Shoe store and then The Shoe Box, which caught fire in 1976. Albert Rehmer sold the property to his son Randy Rehmer in March 1977. In the early 1980s, The Electric Outlet Family Arcade operated there. Myrtle Voris bought the building in 1983 and owned it until 1993, when it was sold to Robert Voris and Jean Jost. After six months they sold it to David and Cecelia Miller, who sold it a year later to Shawn Wilson. From 1990 through 2000, the building served as an Edward Jones office, first for financial advisor David Reed and then for Ted Kirkpatrick. In October 2001, Gregory and Heather Kipping bought and remodeled it for Heather’s nail salon, The Nail Nook. Most recently, the Schmidt family bought the building and completely renovated it, stripping it to its original brick walls for use as the Vintage Wine Bar.
