Notes

This facility was noted in a 1909 Sanborn Insurance Map and located in the southwest quadrant of the wye, north of Hilton Street. It was owned at the time by the E. B. Muller & Company.

Chicory is a plant which is often eaten like celery. It is used as a cooking spice.

Today, this is the site of the city's sewage treatment plant.
