At one time, the four corners at Collingwood and Monroe Streets was a busy, commercial area. Some of you might remember the Kenton Building and, perhaps, the Kewpee restaurant. One of the businesses at the intersection was the Boyer-Kruse Mortuary.
The Toledo News Bee posted an advertisement by the Irving B Hiett Company for the sale of 2366 Monroe Street. The realtor described the house as a suitable residence for a physician with eight rooms, bath, and a furnace in a fine location and on a corner. The property had a stable. "Our client wants a quick sale."
