History
History information is some background and history about the location. This is meant to be a basic summary. Below the history records you will find sources in which you can click on to find out more information. There may be multiple history records per location.
The building itself also has a fascinating history. It was built at 226 Gilman Ave. around 1888 by George Storck. Storck built this building to be his confectionary, bakery, and ice cream parlor. He worked until 1924, when he sold it to Henry G. and Maude E. Storck. Thus, it continued to be Storck’s Confectionary until 1940, when Maude retired, and the building went vacant. It stayed empty until 1945, when Orian J. McConaha purchased it to be their residence until 1947.

Stories
Stories are just that. Stories and personal accounts that have been reported about the location. This section could also contain research notes as well.
Sadly, Harry passed in 1994, but it is believed by many of the current and past staff that he is still in the building. Many have recounted stories where the water would turn on by itself, doors will open but no one visible walks through, and occasionally thuds or footsteps can be heard on the upper floor when no one is there.
