Parsons Music House hits thirty years in Waterloo
L A Parsons Music House marks its 31st year in Waterloo since 1876. The firm began with a small shop at East Fourth and later moved to the Music Hall building on Bast Fourth and then to the three story Sycamore Street location.

The house, selling 400 instruments in 1905, claims to be the only exclusive music house in northern Iowa and credits its success to selling reliable pianos and matching instruments to proper grades.
