It is generally known as the Bockrath House from Henry H. Bockrath who built it. He came to JC in 1878 and organized the Bockrath Shoe Co. in 1896. He was gone by 1912 when Winkelmann from Osage County lived in it when he became shareholder and cashier of the Cole County Bank, newly opened on the northwest corner of Dunklin and Jefferson. The bank was forced to close during the Great Depression and apparently Winkelmann left. After that, 309 became an apartment house with tenants coming and going.<br /><br />When Bockrath built his house, Dunklin Street dead-ended in front of it at a wooden fence. The street did not continue down the hill until the 1920s. When you stand at the front door, look across the street at Kas Design and visually connect the two, to reconstruct the original street level.<br /><br />Contact me through the Old Munichburg Association (our website OldMunichburg.com) if you want further information.<br />Good success in your work! Look for old bottles, books, etc. hidden between the walls and under the floorboards! Walter A.

Dunklin. It has been long abandoned but we intend to change that in the upcoming months. I am looking for any history or old photos anyone has of the property. I look forward to meeting folks that have the same desire to preserve history as we do. <br /><br />ThanksPBR, LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884978989751200217noreply@blogger.com
