Title

Bellman's Grocery - Body and Fender Shop

Description

The brick building on the left was Bellman's Grocery Store. It was located on the south side of the eight hundred block of East Exchange Street in Brodhead, Wisconsin. Bil and Tress Bellman started their business June 29, 1922. It was located approximately where the Bank of Brodhead drive through is presently. It is not known when the store closed but a story in the local paper dated 1960 says the business has been in the present location for 38 years. The store was on the first floor and the family lived on the second floor. The metal building on the right was used for many purposes through the years. In the photo it is the Body and Fender Shop. This building was moved to the south side of the Ford dealership which was on the southwest corner of Tenth Street and East Second Avenue. Today Pinnow and Associates have storage units where the Ford Dealership had been. This metal building would have been on the west side of the ten hundred block of East Second Avenue, about where the driveway between the storage units are now.
