Randecker's Hardware Storeとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Randecker's Hardware Store is a historical Commercial style building in Bloomingdale, DuPage County, Illinois. It was built in 1908–09 to sell goods to local farmers and residents. William Randecker opened to store after wanting to leave the paint business following his deteriorating health. Randecker was a prominent figure in Bloomingdale Township, functioning as the township clerk for twenty years and township collector for an additional five. Early 20th century demands for electrical and plumbing equipment fueled the success of the family-run store. When Bloomingdale was incorporated as a village in 1923, Randecker's was one of 13 commercial establishments in the city. Randecker died in 1946 and passed the store on to his nephew, George Bender, who renamed the store Bender's Hardware. The post office co-inhabited the building from 1955 to 1960. The property was sold to the Mazzarella family following Bender's death in 1976. The store was mostly converted into an antique shop with limited hardware supply. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1994. It currently operates as a MassMutual insurance office.
