Historic Information The structure was built by Christian Fleckenstein in 1838-39 as a multi-purpose structure, with a grocery on the bottom floor and private living quarters above. Fleckenstein continued to operate the store until his death in 1863. In 1906, the building was purchased by Joseph Caccaro in 1906.
