This familiar, well-preserved building at 420 NW Fifth Street is the only remaining section of the Evansville Woolen Mill, which originated about 1889. When the mill closed in 1910, Charles Leich & Company, which had been founded in 1854, acquired the property. The family-owned firm manufactured “drugs and sundries” for several generations, and in 1962, it was one of eleven local businesses and industries recognized for operating continuously for over a century. Now home to numerous commercial enterprises, the building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Photo courtesy of Willard Library.
