Finkbiner Building - Springfield, Missouri - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Finkbiner Building, at 509-513 W. Olive Street in Springfield, Missouri, is significant as the long-time headquarters of the oldest moving company in Springfield, MO. It was built ca. 1925 for the Finkbiner Transfer and Storage Company, and housed that company for the next three quarters of a century. The Olive Street building was used as a moving company headquarters and warehouse longer than any other building in the city. The warehouse was built relatively early in the history of automobile use, and is sited near railroad tracks as well as major roadways. That location reflects the multiple transportation modes utilized by the company for much of its early history."

After short time of being vacant the building was converted to small business offices with several different businesses now located in the building.
