Lost Hutchinson: Hutchinson Produce
April 3, 2007 - 9:10am — webmaster
Constructed: 1889 Hutchinson Produce began in 1889 as a small store handling farm produce. It carried an advertisement in the Leader each week listing prices it was paying for eggs (9.5 cents per dozen, dressed hens (6 cents), geese, turkeys and ducks, salted and unsalted butter, wool and even furs. Torn down: July 11, 1991 Location: East side of Main Street North between First and Second Avenues North (currently Shopko parking lot) Hutchinson Produce above is part of a 20-week series of Lost Hutchinson buildings. Watch the Tuesday print edition for more information about Hutchinson Produce. If any readers have other photos, renderings or information about this building, please post them here or send them to: Hutchinson Leader, 36 Washington Ave. W., Hutchinson, MN 55350. A collection of information published in the Lost Hutchinson series as well as reader submitted photos and remembrances will be published in a magazine later this year.

Hutchinson Produce began...
Back to page topHutchinson Produce began with a small retail store on Main Street in 1889. It purchased produce from area farms. The building on the left was the office. The middle building was cold storage. Notice its lack of windows. Since these buildings were not demolished until 1991, some readers likely have memories or other photos. The original produce company was sold to Kraft during its history. More modern siding was also added to the buildings.
Please post any memories here, or send them to the Leader.
