This building has served as a funeral home for over 100 years. At the time of the Bicentennial in 2012 it was owned and operated by Walter Rex as Rex Funeral Home. (For more information on the history search for "Funeral Home" on this site.)

The original building was made of red brick. Sometime in the mid 1950s, Robert Stimmel had the exterior resurfaced with a gray brick facade.

For a history of the funeral home, search this site for: Funeral Home - Stimmel - Rex

After Walter Rex closed his funeral home business about 2019, his son Jared Rex began to use the building for Faith & Fire Church services.
