It appears that the Oktoberfest organization moved into 17 Benton street in 1989 [1], but I can't find a definitive answer about when the facade itself was created.
The name "Hans Haus" does not appear on the official website in February of 2000 [2] but does in May 2000 [3]. I tried a random collection of earlier incarnations of the site and didn't see the name elsewhere either, so it's possible it could have been done during that period. I don't have ready access to the Waterloo Region Record's print archives online and there are no search results there earlier than October, 2010.
