Description

(From the collection of Carl Ackerman)

This building has always been a butcher shop.....for well over 100 years.......Giesler's Market, Heizel's market, and now Herrmann's Meat Market.

Adam Geisler came to this city in July 1866, direct from Rhenish Bavaria, Germany. He was 20 years old, but had learned the butcher's trade in Germany, and at once began business with Hilderbrand & Worley, soon after purchasing Mr. Worley's interest and becoming a partner of Mr. Hildebrand. This partnership lasted 7 years, when Mr. Giesler purchased the entire plant.
