Hugo Wesener, born in Germany in 1830, came to Owosso in 1875. He built the Wesener Block on North Washington Street around 1886.
His son, Hugo G. Wesener, was a piano player and organized the Wesener Orchestra. He and his wife Tula built this charming Italianate house c.1895 at 204 Michigan Avenue.
The Knights of Columbus was established in Owosso in 1906. In 1914, the Knights purchased the Wesener house. In 1946, the house was almost totally destroyed by fire and although still standing, is almost unrecognizable today. Soon after the fire, a new K of C building was built on East Main Street.
