I'm looking at a bondholders certificate for this building from 1932. Taxes from 1929 and 1930 were delinquent. There was a new corporation created for it, probably because of some larger issues. Anyhow, the corporation of Lumbermens Bondholders Co. was headed by Fletcher Linn, VP Geo. N. Campbell, sec-treasurer Geo. W. Caldwell. It notes a postponed execution sale by Seymour H. Bell, Trustee and an agreement with Mary C. Vogt, owner of the building. The new lease went through the end of 1938 with extensions through the end of 1946. They purchased the assets of the Stark Street Corporation on Jan 4 1932 for $1500, and said:
"acquired all the rights of the Stark Street Corporation and thereby avoided the termination of the lease by the owner, and also kept in tact[sic] the leases held by tenants occupying space... We obtained a Sheriff's Certificate of Sale, and also procurred[sic] an assignment from the officers of the Stark Street Corporation of any interest it had in the leasehold."
It seems like this was a company that leased the entire building and sublet it to others? Anyhow, a bunch of interesting names in there. I looked up Mary C. Vogt and there's actually interesting case law regarding this building. Looks like there was a bit of a mess with the ownership when she died in 1935. tedder (talk) 03:24, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
