Fohn-Bless Store

Built in D'Hanis about 1878 by John Fohn (1839-91), a native of Prussia, this store-residence housed a general mercantile store and also served as the site of D'Hanis elections and a Justice of the Peace Court. In 1897, Rolf Frerichs (1833-1913) purchased the building from the Fohn Estate and moved it to this location. Frerichs' son-in-law, C.J. Bless (1864-1944), operated a store here until 1939. Medina Electric Cooperative occupied the building until 1963.
