From the historical marker placed by the Lincoln Haymarket Development Corporation in 2003:
The Ridnour Building was one of the last factory warehouses built during the Haymarket District's principal period of development. J.C. Ridnour used the building to manufacture work clothes and overalls and as a wholesale warehouse for furnishing goods and notions.
Built in 1925, the original cost of the reinforced concrete structure was about $80,000. It was designed by architects Meginnis and Schaumberg, previous partners of prominent Haymarket archetect F.C. Fiske.
