and upon this corner the Kalbachs
! first located their lumber yard, about
l1Se4. Here was also located a large
building that served it's time as
stage barn in the old days and was
later used as storage for agricultural
implements and which was burned to
the ground in the later seventies.
The Kalbachs moved their lumber
yards to larger quarters on Second
avenue and B ST., and the city of o.
kaloosa later secured title to the Kali
bach interests in lot 6, block rs, and
for years it was surrounded by bill
boards.
When the large bell was purchased
by the city and installed as fire
alarm the one place that suggested
itself as the best location was the top
of the city headquarters. A frame
work of huge timbers was erected on
the top, of the building in which this
great bell was swung. By changes in
the construction of the building some
time after its erection the walls were
weakened and the weight of the bell
of the structure. Iron rods were
placed through the walls to strengthen
them but public sentiment was against
the place. Added to this the city was
growing and the administration of
city affairs required more commodious
quarters. The city was also accumu-
lating valuable records that called
for protection against the possibility
of destruction CT loss. In response
to the demands of the hour the coun-
Gil voted to quit the old home and to
move into q more suitable location,
but the fire department for years after
wards, up until the completion Of the
new fire department quarters Oh Sec
ond avenue in 1909, occupied the old
building. The first floor was the
home OF the fire fighting apparatus
and the second floor was used as the
practice room of the Oskaloosa band.
