The Italianate-style commercial building at 1998 Fulton, shown in this photo, is the only historic building left standing on the northwest corner of Lorain and Fulton. It was at one time the residence of the family of John G. and Katherine Gerstacker, German immigrants from Bavaria. Gerstacker operated a saloon in the store front of the building from the 1860s until he closed it sometime in the 1880s. The building has had a variety of uses since then. Like the Lorain Street Savings Bank Building across Fulton Road from it, the building at 1988 Fulton looks lost at an intersection which has lost so many of its historic commercial buildings. | Source: Jim DubelkoDownload Original File
