Schmidt reverses without a street address like this are post-WWII. Nicholas L. Braun is listed in the 1946 & 1949 Dun & Bradstreet as operator of a hotel and tavern in Evansville. The 1953 D&B lists him as a tavern only.

My pleasure.

There is a local history database available for Evansville. You'll find it here: http://local.evpl.org/

And if that doesn't work, you might try the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library • 200 SE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. • Evansville, Indiana 47713 • (812) 428-8200
Good hunting,
Don.......
