- Exterior front of the Roschman Button Factory located at 25 Regina (formerly Queen) Street.
- Notes
- 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. In 1886 the factory was built at 25 Queen (later Regina) Street south. Changes in the button industry led to the closing of the factory in the mid 1940s.
The building was subsequently used by by Duffus Plywood Limited, the Ontario Glove Manufacturing Company and Schendel Office Supplies. In 1982 it was designated by the City of Waterloo as an historical and architecturally significant landmark.
