Fiege Building (Commercial Building), 511-513 East Genesee St Saginaw, Saginaw County, MI
Possibly the tallest timber-framed building in Michigan, the Fiege Building, designed by prominent Michigan architect William T. Cooper, represents the stabilization of a lumbertown`s economy and was associated with the rise of ethnically German businessmen in the Saginaw valley. The building was built by John Schmelzer, a first-generation American of German descent and an entreprenuerial businessman, as a furniture store.
