Commercial building 109-111 East Main Street New Albany, IN 47150

Like its neighbor to the west, this building has housed multiple different commercial uses before becoming part of the Schmitt Furniture complex. The 1886 Sanborn Fire Insurance map shows a hardware store at 109 East Main, and a wallpaper and stationery shop in the east half of the building. The hardware store remains through the 1891 and 1898 maps, but the 111 side housed a public library in 1891 and a barber in 1898.
The 1905 map shows a wholesale and retail hardware, sash and door shop using both halves of the building.
