"This property was owned from at least the 1860's until -1970 by the
Hirlinger family. Previous to their ownership it had been owned by a Durringer or Derringer. The first Hirlinger to own the property was Erhardt Hirlinger who established a wagon factory there which operated from the l860's until the 1890's. The property then passed to Erhardt's son, Charles E. Hirlinger, and then to his son, Frank Hirlinger, who added a painting shop and later a tin shop to the business. About 1910 the building was remodeled into apartments.
In the 1930's these apartments were occupied by the families of Charles F. Hirlinger and his brother Kenneth (sons of Frank Hirlinger) who owned the building until 1970 when it was sold to Lowell Friedrich who sold it to the present owners in 1978.
