Sommerfield & Austin

This wagon works was located at 801 Monroe St., at the southeast corner of Monroe St. and Jefferson Avenue. Apparently it also served as a dealer of Studebaker wagons made in South Bend. The photo

dates from about 1911-12. The owners were Abram Sommerfield and Henry A. Austin. Earlier the

structure had served as the William C. Pitner Carriage Shop. The building is gone, and today is the site

of a bank building.
