Phone interview with Robert Byron, Sr. on 24 Jun 1999: Building originally built ca 1950 by Keeley Implements. Byron purchased in 1951, but Pete Sprengeler still had 2 years lease for his restaurant, so Byrons moved there in 1953. Sold out to a used car dealer in 1973, who sold to Waseca Mutual Insurance Co.
