The north side of E. Bremer between the river and 1st St. Looking northwest. The Independent and offices upstairs.
Signage on side of building: "Dick Stephenson, agent for Waverly Beer;" Schoenweiser and Maple Leaf Bottled Beer;" "For bargains in real estate see John Sager;" and "The cement that is right at the start, Marquette Portland Cement is bound to make good concrete, sold by Coddington and Laird."
Signage on window: "Maple Leaf Sample Room, Stephenson, prop."
That is a collection of buildings along East Bremer Avenue known as the Big Six Properties. The addresses for the buildings on this block consist of: 89 E Bremer Ave, 91 E Bremer Ave, 93 E Bremer Ave, 95 E Bremer Ave, 97 E Bremer Ave, and
99 E Bremer Ave. - Source: Lindsay Kuhlmann, Waverly Public Library
NOTE: This is only 5 of the Big Six properties—the sixth building at the left end was built in 1908. Also, Leusenhop & Bredow moved their bar into the center building in April 1906, so that would be a good guess for the date.
