History of the Old Cobbler Shop

The Cobbler's Shop building was long associated with the business life of the community.  By 1877, it was the boot and harness shop of Joseph Staub who was a cobbler and saddle maker by trade.  At the turn of the centry, Leo and Mike Staub operated it as a shoe repair shop.  This shop was relocated to the second floor and was serviced by a wooden stairway on the Columbia Street side.
