Schwinn Hall

Schwinn Hall
In the early 1940s, a small garden area existed on Lorain Avenue just to the west of the Schenck (M. Diederich Co.) Building, according to Constance Huya, a cousin of current Fridrich Bicycle store owner, Charles "Chuck" Fridrich. When she was still a little girl and living in an apartment above the store, the garden was removed and a building erected in its place. The building displayed bicycles made by Schwinn and became known to everyone at the store as "Schwinn Hall." This undated photo was likely taken sometime between 1945 and 1950.
