Summary

English: A 1970's photo of the "Johnson Block" in Rush City, an imposing red-brick building that once stood at the corner of Dana Ave & 4th Street.
The Johnson Block, built in 1897, was named after drug-store owner S.C. Johnson, a Swede who emigrated to the United States in 1867 at the age of sixteen. The cost of the building was $15,000 and featured arched doorways and window openings. The block housed several businesses including Johnson's drug-store, a local electric company, and attorney's offices. In 1960, nine apartment units were built on the top floor in an effort to make the building more profitable. The building saw its demise in 1981 after a basement fire caused unrepairable damage to the entire structure. Over "45,000 gallons" of Rush Creek water was used in an effort to douse the flames. The lot on which it stood is now used as a parking lot for a neighboring hair salon.
