One lived upstairs so he could receive bodies 24/7, the other lived on Bruce.<br />Their father was a coach maker who went into building cars later. Dhonau Street is, I believe, under a ramp to I-74.<br />When the funeral home was built it was state of the art & boasted a "huge" chapel. It also would have been built about the time the motorize hearse was introduced which allowd funeral directors to do moor than a couple funerals a day (eliminated walking processions).<br />Somebody was trying to save this building a year or so ago. The owner who let it go to pooh should be buried alive.<br /><a href="http://home.fuse.net/christol/FHome1914.jpg" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> a rendering I did awhile ago. The sign could barely be seen as late as last week.<br />(There should probably be an awning on the front.)Quimbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414025266566849822noreply@blogger.com
