Built in 1882 Is Now Wrecked in Estherville History
In 1882 H W Sillge from Wauzeka Wisconsin arrived with family to establish a harness shop in Estherville and built a store later owned by G H Raife and wrecked to make room for a brick business house. The piece recalls the Sillge era, other early structures near the square, and local memories of roads and skateable squares while noting financial woes and neighborhood evolution.

Old Estherville storefronts recall a growing town
The square and surrounding stores near a prairie edge tell of Estherville forty years ago. A muddy diagonal road, a few buildings, and sloughs defined a once sparse landscape. By 1902 H C Sillge moved into a brick structure, with the old store later used by Mrs Collins, Mrs M M Stott, L F Eldred, and Kennedy & Brenneman before the Popular Price Boot Shop occupied it. Only remnants of the original shops endure in this surviving corner of town.
