Yes. The building was probably constructed no earlier than 1899 (but certainly by 1908) for Canada Furniture Company.
The possible justification for “1877” is the founding of Hoffman & Wegenast that was sold to Schaefer, Killer & Company that was sold to Canada Furniture Company. But that building was at Allen.
