Description
This building is shown in the 1886 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps but it was probably built several years before that. It was for several years the Anger Plumbing Co . but in the early 1920s it was the Antle Ice Cream Store . In 1925 Frank Schnaitter gave up the building across the street at 231 West Main St . About two years later he equipped the back part of the building for wholesale ice cream production . He maintained the confectionery in the front part of the building and the upstairs was used as a residence for the Schnaitter family . In 1940 Mr . Schnaitter sold the business to his nephew , Virgil Sample , and it was known as the Sample Ice Cream Company until about 1960 . At that time the building , along with the Madison Opera House and the old Crozier Building , was torn down to make a parking lot .
