N2  - Southern Stove Works Foundry at 100 Seventh Ave.; Evansville Pressed Brick on Stringtown Rd. north of the Belt Rwy.; I.A. Thiele Co. at 108-110 Upper 3rd St.; John S. McCorkle Planing Mill at 723 Walnut St.; Sunny Side Coal Mine on W. Maryland St. near 12th St. The Foundry was built circa 1895 and razed circa 1930. Nothing more could be found about Evansville Pressed Brick other than its existence in the 1899/1900 and 1904 city directories, and not in the 1882 or 1911 ones. I.A. Thiele made and dealt in stoves, ranges, hot air furnaces, tin, copper, and sheet iron ware, plus tinners' stock and tools, according to the 1904 dity directory. An obituary for Ignatius A. Thiele (1855/1856-1941) said that he joined his father in the stove business at the age of 18. The business was at several locations on 3rd St., but had been at 119 N. 3rd St. since 1872. He ran the company alone after his father's 1890 death; since it appears he had no immediate heirs, the company likely ceased with/around his death. The McCorkle Planing Mill was also known as the City Planing Mill. It was built about 1866 and razed after being destroyed by fire in 1898. Sunnyside Coal Mine (one word is thought to be correct, not Sunny Side) extended under what is now Mesker Park and Helfrich Hills Golf Course. It no longer is in operation.
