[that was then]
In 1888, Max Schumacher opened and owned a dairy near his home
at 343 Sycamore Street. Much of the area that comprises
Schumacher place was farmland.
What is now the Brewery
District was a bustling Front Street lined with breweries,
small, locally-owned businesses and manufacturing companies. In
close proximity to Schumacher Place were buggy and carriage
manufacturers, tobacco merchants, produce merchants, bakeries
and a slaughter yard.
In the 1920s with the appearance of the automobile, farms were moving away from
the city center and dirt roads were being paved with brick to accommodate
traffic.
In the Post-World War II era, younger generations were moving to the newly
formed suburbs, leaving areas like Schumacher Place to fall into disrepair,
remaining in danger of losing historic buildings until the 1960s when concerned
citizens took the initiative to preserve the area’s important heritage.[this is now]
Today, Schumacher Place has more than 700 homes. Where
Schumacher’s barn once stood, condominiums now stand. Where a
slaughter house once stood, even more condos now stand. The home
of the well-known Schmidt’s restaurant was once the site of a
large butcher company.
North of Sycamore Street, the more historic section features
closely-set brick homes with small yards. South of Sycamore, the
newer homes built in the early 19th century are
mostly wood-framed homes.
A nice residential area, Schumacher Place’s close proximity to
the Brewery District,
German Village and
downtown make it an ideal
place for residents of all ages and backgrounds. And that is
just who lives in this area, an eclectic group from residents
who can remember when the neighborhood was just being rebuilt
and renovated in the 1970s, to newer residents who like the
location because it is so close to great shops, restaurants,
parks and nightlife.
