- Richard Roschman was born in 1848 in Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1870. The Roschman and Brother Button Company started in 1878 as Roschman and Bowman, by Richard Roschman and Daniel Bowman. In 1884 Richard's brother Rudolph became part owner and company name changed to Roschman and Brother. The factory was built in 1886 at 25 Queen (later Regina) Street south. Richard Roschman died in 1930. Changes in the button industry led to the closing of the factory in 1944.
