Joseph W. Fridrich's Coal and Flour & Feed businesses at 840 (3817) and 842 (3821) Lorain Street (Avenue)
This circa 1902 photograph shows these two storefronts on Lorain Avenue when for a several year period they were both leased by Joseph W. Fridrich for his coal and flour & feed businesses. The building on the left had earlier been leased by Fridrich and his brother August Schmitt for the retail coal store the two operated from 1885 until 1900 when their partnership was dissolved. The building on the right was home to Fridrich's short-lived flour and feed business, and, after it closed in 1904, was leased to Walter J. Meyers, who operated a retail bicycle shop there for the next 4-5 years. After Meyers closed his store in 1909, the Joseph W. Fridrich family opened their own bicycle shop in that store front. It remained the site of the Fridrich Bicycle store until 1925 when the business was moved to a new location across Lorain Avenue.
