6th St.
This property was owned from at least the 1860’s until 1970 by the Hirlinger
family. The first Hirlinger to own
the property was Erhardt Hirlinger who established a wagon factory there which
operated from the 1860’s until the 1890’s.
The property then passed to Erhardt’s son, Charles, and then to his
son, Frank who added a painting shop and later a tin shop to the business.
About 1910 the building was
remodeled into apartments. The
primary east façade has a 3-part window with a double rowlock header, an
entrance with sidelights and a pent roofed porch with brick columns and a
concrete stoop, a window, and an entrance with a raised concrete stoop and which
gives access to the second story. The
rear façade has 3 bays and an entrance with frame steps and porch on the second
story. The residence sits immediately at the sidewalks at the
northwest corner of 6th and Vine facing east.
There is a small rear yard and no outbuildings.
