Description

214 S. Main St., Sugar Grove, IL

Cooper / Needham / Knudson Hall and Blacksmith Shop, Built by Geo. Wolf; late 1800s,

Advertisement reads: "C.J. Knudson, Practical Horse-Shoeing, General Repair Work in Wood and Iron."

The building at 214 South Main Street was known as Cooper’s Hall. It included the Cooper & Needham Blacksmithing Shop (also known as the Knudson Hall and Blacksmith Shop) downstairs.

Upstairs, school and town activities took place on the 2nd floor, which included a basketball court, dining room, and stage. The court was so narrow that the folks on the one bench on each side had to stand up on the bench to keep their feet off the playing floor.

The building then housed a Machine Shop downstairs and the residence of the Groff Frantz Family upstairs.
