Built in 1892, the Zurcher Building housed Zurcher Jewelers on this site from 1903 to 1973. In the Knights of Pythias hall on the second story, Elias Disney held an oyster dinner for local apple growers in hopes of organizing them into a local union, but he was unable to win their support, though they happily ate the oysters. Apartments were added to the back of the building in 1918, and in 2002 those apartments were lost in a fire. After the debris was cleared, the Coca-Cola sign Walt would have remembered was revealed.
