Shields checked other buildings on the Square and found other ironwork by "G.L. Mesker & Co., Evansville, Ind." on the fronts of the Mike Harris Buildings and the M & P Variety Store, as well as on the Dan Antle/Reed Bros. Insurance Buildings. Somewhat similarly designed patterns on the ironwork can be found on those examples. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
