Sterling in Rice County, Kansas — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
The Mincer Building
In 1895 this corner lot was purchased to house the dry goods business of A.L. Mincer. By 1913 the Mincer Building had grown into a modern day two-story department store covering two city lots. In 1993 Gene and Miki Zaid purchased the building to house offices and a laboratory for JACAM Chemicals, the business they established in 1982. Following a fire that destroyed much of the block on February 15, 2002, the Zaids rebuilt, using bricks from the original structure to face this corner building.
