Carmondy Block

Thomas Carmondy originally owned this building, and his business advertised furniture, carpets, Queensware, and undertaking services, with an embalming room said to have every latest improvement and other stock considered unexcelled in Fremont County. By 1905 the building housed the furniture store of S. W. Lee. By 1916 Carmondy was operating a real estate business. In 1923 Florence Recreation offered bowling and ice cream there. By 1953 it was known as Huskie Bowl, and in 1960 the business was named the Florence Bowling Alley. In 1964 Ken's Furniture occupied this location and the building to the west, and that business continued to at least 1985. After passing through several owners, the building became Diamond Lil's Antique Store in 2004, was sold in 2006, housed Windmill Antiques, and is currently occupied by Heartland Antiques.
