This structure has undergone many metamorphoses since its construction in 1909 by Isaac Curd for $10,000. Another $7,000 was spent on the building by the Salvation Army in 1921. The present appearance of this building was attained during the 1960 $10,000 remodeling undertaken by the Robidoux Realty Co. for the National Cash Register office.

218 South 5th Street

Western Dairy was one of the oldest dairies in St Joseph
Hannafin & Fenner were partners in the beginning
It was owned & operated for many years by George & Augie Fenner and numerous other members of the Fenner family
The dairy was a member of the Quality Chekd organization
Their dairy products were trade named Justrite Quality Chekd
The dairy was sold to Highland Dairy in Springfield Missouri
The dairy was later obtained by Hiland dairy in Iowa
The Fenners continued running the dairy
The retail home delivery ceased operation in the late 1970's
All St Joseph dairy operations totally ceased as all products were being trucked in from Iowa
The St Joseph dairy building remained unused except for the large cooler
Hiland Dairy eventually razed the dairy & office building
The huge cooler and garage remained for many years thereafter
Hiland Dairy finally razed the huge cooler, the garage remains intact
It is currently one huge empty lot in which Quality Chekd trailers are parked

The west facade with a Colonial Revival design was added in 1901. It is dominated by two projecting square bays flanking a recessed entry surmounted by a fanlight. Please see the attachment which gives an 1889 view of the St. Charles. Since this time the Mansard roof of the original design has been removed. However, the peaked lintels etched with curvilinear motifs from this period remain intact on the north facade.
The landmark calibre St. Charles Hotel was opened in 1880 and continuously operated under the same name. A contemporary history said that large additions (35 rooms plus) were made to the original building at that time. However, there was no hotel by this site name or on this site the years preceding 1880 in the City Directories and a 1910 description listed only a total of 45 rooms, so the building referred to was probably the boarding house of Mary E. Dunoan on the southeast corner of Fifth and Charles, listed in the City Directory as early as 1872 and through the 1870's.
In 1880, the hotel was originally named the St Charles House
Between 1880 and 1937, the hotel was renamed the St Charles Hotel
During a 5 year period from 1937-1941, the St. Charles Hotel
was renamed as HOTEL MILNER, see photo #6
Why it changed names for a brief period in late 1930's is unknown
After 1941, it was was renamed once again as the St. Charles Hotel
Even though it was closed, the St Charles Hotel was the last historic downtown hotel still standing in 2010
Some scenes in the Paper Moon movie were filmed here in the 1970's
The hotel sat closed and empty for many years
After sitting empty for many years, the hotel was sold & torn down in 2010
ACME Vending company is currently occupying the address (photo #16)

This storage and loading dock first appeared on the 1956 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map as a drawing from plans suggesting construction was in progress
This structure would be an intrusion in an established historic district in this area of high quality 19th & 20th Century commercial structures
This cooler as well as the plant to the north have been demolished
The cooler that sat on a raised concrete foundation was a refrigerated series of storage areas lined with loading docks for trucks along the east and west sides.
There was no office area on this site.

Chase Candy Company was established in 1876 by Dr. George Washington Chase to fulfill the demand for his family's candies. A new modern plant with "enameled walls and ceilings--workers in crisp white uniforms modern machinery and conveying equipment" was built at 402 S. Fifth Street in 1923
The Chase Cherry Mash Candy Bar was introduced in the 1930s and is still sold today
In 1954, Chase Candy acquired the Bunte Brothers Candy Company, makers of the fruit-filled hard candy known as Diana Stuft Confections. Bunte is also credited with making the first chocolate covered candy bar, the Tangos, around 1914.
Chase Candy Company is the 3rd oldest candy company in the USA. Around 1918, The Chase Cherry Mash was invented
In the early 1920s, Chase built a modern four-story factory in downtown St. Joseph. The building is located on the southwest corner of 5th & Sylvanie. Chase also has a warehouse located at 1109 North 3rd Street
By 1926, after 50 years in business, Chase had made more than 500 different kinds of candies, including an extensive line of candy bars
Companies known to have been occupied this building at 5th & Sylvanie:
Chase Candy, Dannen Mills & Farmland
In 1957, Dannen Mills purchased this building from Chase
Chase Candy built a new plant at 3600 South Leonard Road then moved once more. Chase Candy Company is currently located in an industrial park at 1307 South 59th Street

EDMOND STREET PARKING LOT
Created during Urban Renewal

NEW 2014 EDMOND STREET MURAL
Between 5th & 6th Streets

All photos are looking north from Edmond Street between 5th & 6th

This large parking lot consumes the block that once had 10 businesses occupying this area

The buildings were removed during the Urban Renewal program

August 2014: the city hired an artist to paint a mural on the backside of all of the Felix Street buildings

An outline image was first projected onto the buildings, then the outline was painted using the bucket lift as seen in photo #2

Some days later, the mural colors had been painted. Quite a feat

This mural is visible from people heading north on I-229, a great downtown improvement

The city has replaced the original parking lot with a much better parking lot in 2014

The beautiful Saxes Orpheum Theater was once one of the gems of downtown
It was built in 1912 on the site where the Schlitz Cafe once stood
There was also a lot that was used for sideshows
The theater was brightly lit at night
The Orpheum Theater was located on the northeast corner of 5th & Edmond
Photo #7 is a November 1, 1930 St Joseph News Press advertisement telling about the Orpheum being totally remodeled with new screens, sound, seating etc.
In photo #1, the original Townsend, Wyatt and Wall department store at 5th & Felix can be seen in the background
On January 23, 1933 a $35,000 fire severely damaged the theater along with St Joseph Shoe Repair, 505 Edmond, which also shared the structure.
The fire was believed to have been vandalism by disgruntled employees
After the January fire, the theater was rebuilt and reopened in October 1933
The new theater was not as extravagant as the original theater
Mac's Jewelry Shop was located adjacent to the theater
On April 4, 1958, the theater was sold to the Mechanics Bank
On May 15, 1958, it was announced that the theater would be razed
The building is now gone and is currently a parking lot
I only went there a couple times as a child in the 1950's before the razing
It smelled very badly of stale cigar & cigarette smoke
Back then, people were allowed to smoke in the theaters

The original 512 Edmond building was replaced in 1917
The 510-512 Edmond double storefront was constructed in 1917 by George Bode for $1,600. It retains its original Beaux Arts Classical Revival cornice and would be a contributing member of an historic district in the fine grouping of 19th and 20th century commercial buildings of the central business district
The buiding at 502-504 Edmond, the second story of this high quality Italianate commercial building is well intact and would contribute significantly to the historic district in the Central business district.
This building was probably built in 1876 when Ernest Wenz acquired the three pieces of property on which this building stands.
Mr. Wenz was a grocer who business establishment was on Frederick Avenue rather than here. He owned this property into the 20th century
The building at 506-508 Edmond, this double store front building was constructed in 1920 by the United Cigar store for $1,000. It retains its original raised and patterned brickwork and forms an integral part of a fine grouping of low, brick commercial buildings of the 19th and 20th Centuries south of the central business district.
This strip of buildings at one time contained the businesses listed above
These buildings still exist on the south side of Edmond between 5th & 6th Streets but all but one is empty
As you can see, there were numerous pawn shops & jewelry shops occupying these buildings
Before Urban Renewal, there used to be pawn shops on both sides of the street here
Wright Jewelry had occupied the building at 502 Edmond since 1935
This double storefront was constructed in 1917 by George Bode for $1,600. It retains its original Beaux Arts Classical Revival cornice and would be a contributing member of an historic district in the fine grouping of 19th and 20th century commercial buildings of the central business district.
In the 1960's & 1970's, just about every Western Dairy milkman ate breakfast at Carol Ann's or bought a cup of coffee
Carol Ann's daughter currently owns Adam's grille and Carol Ann worked there. Carol Ann has now retired

In the 1950 City Directory, Bee Wayne Bakery was listed at 2516 Mitchell

In 1935, 2518 Mitchell was Norris Drug Store and later became a Herman Drug Store

Bee Waynes was located on the west side of the drug store as photo #2 shows a bricked up wall and a doorway

The middle door is access to the apartment above

By 1960, the Bee Wayne bakery had moved to 221 South 22nd Street

It was one of St Joseph's most popular bakeries

John (Jake) Jacobs purchased the bakery building on South 22nd and converted into a garage to service his used cars and also served as his office for many years

The building permit for this structure was taken out by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance in 1939 for $20, 000. The modern styling of the building is unusual for this area, however, it would not contribute significantly to the architectural integrity of the surrounding historic area composed largely of 19th and early 20th century commercial structures.
The old Katz Drug Store building on the southwest corner of 6th & Edmond is still standing

It is currently occupied by some kind of flea market or antique shop

There were 2 Katz drug stores downtown, 6th & Edmond and 2 stores at 6th & Francis
(Actually there were 3 - when the new one opened at 6th & Francis, an old one closed)
