Jansen Block current

11. Jansen Block – The Logan Livery Stable was built in the middle of the block by Hartford & Stauffer in 1864. George Aldrich bought the lots in 1880 and built the “twin warehouses” (still visible). Howard & Jansen moved their Buckeye Milling Co. here in 1892-93. Jansen bought out Howard in 1894 and continued his grain business there into 1900’s. In the first half of the 20th century the Walter Jansen grain business continued at the site until it was sold in 1990. In 1913 the site became known as the “Jansen Block” when Jansen has acquired all the buildings there. Currently the building has been restored as Lincoln Brand Feeds, and houses Buonarotti Ristorante, Freedom Floor Covering, Mrs. Fields &TCBY, Old Town Pizza, Tech Allstars and several other businesses.

13. Butterfield Building –Lincoln’s founder Charles Wilson, had a wooden frame building here in the early 1860’s. His brother-in-law, Henry Rood, operated the building as “Rood Hall”. By 1870 Stephen and Melissa Burdge ran a boarding house in the building, known as the Burdge Hotel. It burned down in the big fire of 1883 (the Burdges built a new hotel on the corner across the street.) Gladding, McBean & co. then built a brick store building here and kept it until 1887. C.H. Butterfield bought it and operated a store here until his death in 1891. In the first half of the 20th century the chain store Rochdale Store was here from 1903-1905. Walter Jansen had the space for awhile as did Lincoln Frozen locker Co. and then the Red & White Store #2. Currently the building has been restored as Lincoln Brand feeds and Awful Annies and Cally Lilly Crossing occupies this site.
