The Spahn & Roe Lumber Co. has been on the same corner for about 90 years. Before that another lumber company operated on the same corner. Spahn & Rose also had a yard on the NW corner of W. Bremer and 3rd St. There was a coal shed along the river and the RI tracks, but the office had always been on the same corner as the present office. Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No. 91D0036.
