History

A building erected at this site by Mr. Minic in 1866 was known by the 1920s as the Falke Block and housed the Massillon Restaurant and the offices of Dr. L.E. Menuez and Dr. Seth Hattery. To its east stood the N.O.T. & L. interurban streetcar office on the current site of the Massillon Area Chamber of Commerce office, and a watering trough stood in the city park to its west. The Falke Building was razed in 1931 for the Swanson Building, which first housed Gensemer Brothers Dry Goods, then Stark Dry Goods, and later the M. O'Neil Company, and has since become the Massillon Museum.
