This property was owned for many years by Hyman Block, who raised his family here, in a log house of unknown age that was considered one of the oldest and last remaining log houses in the city. In 1870, Block deeded the property to Arsan Callier, and it remained in Callier’s possession for almost 80 years until 1949, when it was sold to Harry and Gertrude Fritz. The building’s footprint was later expanded after acquisition of the neighboring My-Lee Hat Shop building. For a number of years, the Statler Beauty Shop operated here, and Walter Kutz ran a tavern and card room in the rear. Statler and Kutz were the last tenants of the original building before Francis Toohey, a well established attorney who served as the county’s prosecuting attorney from 1955 to 1966, purchased it in 1964. In 1966, Toohey razed the old building, exposing twenty-four-foot-long hand-hewn oak roof timbers that appeared to be in an excellent state of preservation. The building Toohey constructed remains on the site.
