This building has always been a butcher shop.....for well over 100 years.......Giesler's Market, Heizel's market, and now Herrmann's Meat Market.
Adam Geisler came to this city in July 1866, direct from Rhenish Bavaria, Germany. He was 20 yearsold, but had learned the butcher's trade in Germany, and at once began business with Hilderbrand & Worley, soon after purchasing Mr. Worley's interest and becoming a partner of Mr. Hildebrand. This partnership lasted 7 years, when Mr. Giesler purchased the entire plant.
In 1872, Jay. B. Rottinghaus was succeeded in this building by Bernard Gardner, father of Alex M Glockner. Mr. Glockner died two years later, in the business was continued under the firm name of Mrs. M Glockner until her death in 1891. In that year, Alex M Glockner purchased the business and managed it. The business occupied the entire building at 206 Market Street., three floors and a basement.
One of the best known and most popular hotels in Ohio. The Biggs House was located at 455 Front Street. The Great Fire on March 6, 1871 destroyed the hotel, but it was immediately rebuilt, retaining its original name: the Biggs House. Now it is the site of the Union Mission.
