By City of Saint Paul and the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission, 1988

(Stevens Building)

- 235-37 East Sixth Street (at Wacouta) -
- 1891, J. Walter Stevens -

Koehler and Hinrichs established a wholesale house for butchers' and meat packers' supplies at Fourth and Saint Peter streets in 1884. This Sixth Street location offered better access to railyards. By 1901, they had outgrown this building and moved to 255 East Kellogg. Many Lowertown wholesalers followed similar relocation patterns as railroad development expanded their markets.
