Comprehensive History
Carriage and buggy maker, John Wilhelm, built the 2-story brick building on Lot #641, located at 340 E. Liberty St. in Wooster, Ohio in 1854[1]. The distinctive Greek Revival style of architecture is still evident today. On Lot #640 attached to the brick building is a small wood frame building likely constructed after Wilhelm bought the property in 1862.
The possibility of a securing a big contract in 1899 to print salt bags for a very large salt company likely spurred George Clapper to buy the property in 1901[2]. The name CLAPPER is still visible on the top of the brick building and references the time period between 1904-1922 when businessman George A. Clapper and his wife Huldah operated the Clapper Printing & Bag Co. out of the building. After their deaths in 1922 and 1920 respectively, their daughter, Vera Clapper inherited the property. Vera Clapper sold one-half interest in the property to Daisy Mae Derr when the business became Derr Printing Co. These two women held the property until 1943. The Imhoff & Long Co. operated at this location for a number of years.
