Constructed in 1914, the building located at 1231 Main Avenue was the fifth and final plant built for the Theodor Kundtz Company. The building and its namesake company have a storied history. Between the late 1880s and the mid-1920s, Kundtz’s Firm, which specialized in woodworking, casework and sewing machine cabinets, constructed four large buildings and a machine shop in the area bounded by Main Avenue, Mulberry Street, the Old Superior Viaduct, and Sycamore Street.
