FLASHBACK

at the ripe age of 108, the Apis Restaurant & Hotel is looking pretty sharp

By Jason Hedman

Anton Isermann was one of the early pioneers to the city of Kenosha.
Born in Germany in 1829, Isermann immigrated to the United States
in 1854 and originally settling in Albany, NY before relocating to what
was then known as Southport in 1857.
Immediately following his marriage to Mary Vedessen in 1858, he went
into the furniture business. Throughout their long marriage, the loving
couple had twelve children: eight boys and four girls.
Anton’s first grand storefront was on the southeast corner of Market
(56th Street) and Main (Sixth Ave), which he opened in 1895. Two of his
sons, George and Michael, were heavily involved in the business, which
was one of Kenosha’s first department stores. Isermann’s carried dry
goods, clothing, carpeting, groceries, glassware, clothing, and more.

For decades, Isermann Brothers was a popular location in Downtown
Kenosha, but by 1976, the Isermannn Brothers store front went dark
after over 80 years. When the building became available, owner Mary
Kipp found a real home in Downtown Kenosha.

As the 1980s began, Furr By Us began to shift their focus to masks and
costumes for all seasons. If you needed a Santa suit, want to dress up
as a sexy (or scary) Easter bunny, or looking for a werewolf outfit for a full
moon, they had you covered.
Throughout the southeastern Wisconsin area, Furr By Us was the essential
eclectic costume shop. At their peak, they offered over 3000 costumes in
stock, and plenty of things to go along with it, including make-up, party
favors, and accessories; while still holding on to the original fabrics and
furs which made the store so popular to begin with.

On Saturday, June 20, 1914, the Isermann Brothers store as many By December 1993, Furr By Us closed after over 20 years in

The Apis restaurant opened in July 2020. In 2021, six custom-crafted hotel
rooms and The Crow's Nest rooftop bar have opened.

In the roaring 1920’s Isermann Brothers became the go-to place in
Downtown Kenosha for the finest in men’s fashion. They were the last
word for such fine brands as Kuppenheimer clothes, Mallory hats, and
Manhattan shirts.
The streets were bustling with people at all hours of the day. From the
daytime shoppers, to the moviegoers at the Burke Theater one door to
the west, to the National Bowling Alley billiard and bowling hall in the
basement - there was no shortage of foot traffic. For some time, the
Isermann Bros clothing store would be open until 10pm on Saturday
nights to accommodate the crowds.

In 1971, Mary Kipp took her business she started in the basement of her
home to an actual storefront. Her shop sold fake fur, rugs, hobby
supplies and more. Kipp proclaimed that all the products she used were
made in the United States, hence the name: Furr by US. But Kipp was
having trouble finding a permanent home, with stores at 1803 52nd
Street, 5805 52nd Street, then 6210 22nd Ave., in the early to mid 70’s.

SUMMER FUN

Did you know that Union Park, 4500
Seventh Ave., is one of the oldest parks
in Kenosha? It was first dedicated in 1839 -
making it pure Kenosha land, having never
been developed.
Take a moment to treasure the history of this
little acre of land over the past 180 years as
you stroll through the park and appreciate
the tall trees, the mosaic planters, the
Little Free Library and Little Free
Art Gallery.
Be sure to say hello to “Deep Breath” - the
13-foot tall robot man which was
created by sculptor Matt Bellefeuille and
installed in 2014.

Spending a beautiful Sunday in Downtown
Kenosha this summer must include a visit to
the Kenosha Art Market. Held once a

SUMMER FUN

kenosha’s original HarborMarket is back for the summer!

The Kenosha HarborMarket, the city’s original European-style
outdoor shopping and entertainment experience, has launched
its 2022 outdoor season – the 20th in its history -- with a large
number and wide array of vendors offering fresh produce,
ready-to-eat foods and a cornucopia of arts and crafts.

Customers can shop over 100 vendor booths every week and find
the diverse array of local products that they’ve come to expect
from Kenosha HarborMarket vendors. They can fill their bags –
one is never enough! -- with fresh and local produce, meat,
poultry, cheese, flower bouquets and plants, baked goods, pantry
staples, soaps, arts and crafts and more. Treat your taste buds to
delicious foods and beverages from over a dozen unique prepared
food vendors.
“We’re excited to offer the robust all-around experience for the
community that Kenoshans and our friends near and far have
enjoyed for two decades,” HarborMarket Executive Director Andrea
Forgianni said.“We're adding new vendors every week, so there is
always something original to discover at Kenosha’s Original
HarborMarket.”

The market, voted Best Event in Kenosha last year, is open from 9
a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through Oct. 29, at its traditional
location: on 2nd Avenue and Place de Douai, one block west of
the lakefront museums.

It’s more than just a shopper’s paradise – it’s fun for the whole
family. Families come down to 2nd Ave to enjoy the scenery, with
abundant green space, shade trees and Lake Michigan a stone’s
throw away. Thousands of people every week enjoy the sounds of
an eclectic mix of local musicians performing on two stages.

Also on-site are fun activities and community resources for all
ages, including the Kenosha Public Library Bookmobile, Versiti
blood drives, Pedal Tours and local dance and dramatic arts groups
demonstrating their talents. HarborMarket is also honored to
provide free booth space to up to two local nonprofits every week.

In keeping with its community-minded mission, last year Kenosha
HarborMarket facilitated the spending of over $16,000 by SNAP
beneficiaries on local produce, meats, eggs, cheeses and other
foods. This year, more than 30 vendors are participating in the
program. HarborMarket will continue to match up to $20 per
beneficiary per week.
“We’re so thankful to our customers and vendors who return week
after week and year after year,” Forgianni said.“The organization
continues to grow into its new leadership, always keeping the core
of its original mission, crafted some 20 years ago, in the forefront -
to bring a plethora of producers of fresh foods and goods directly
to customers in a location specifically designed to make shopping
not just a stop, but an experience. With so much to offer, we're
thrilled to be able to deliver that HarborMarket experience and
ambience that is second to none, one that customers have enjoyed
since 2003. Really, we're maximizing the potential of our location
with all of its greenspace and tree canopy over the course of the
season. Stay tuned – we have plenty of surprises in store!”
