A 75-year-old Annandale landmark is getting a new lease on life. Builders are adding a second story to the old Annandale Co-op Creamery building at Cedar Street and Maple Avenue. Sisters Robin and Lynn Hanson, who own the building, plan to live there while continuing to run their antique and collectible business on the main floor. The yellow-brick creamery was built in 1929 and operated for more than 60 years until it closed Dec. 3, 1993, said Sharleen Dircks, a longtime employee who was manager at the end. She considers it a historic building. “So many of the towns have taken down their creameries,” Dircks said. The Hansons bought the building in 1994 and operated Annandale Antiques there for several years, Robin Hanson said. About three years ago the business became Vintage Style Market, she said. Now it does seasonal sales four times a year, and its antique and collectible merchandise is geared toward decorating and home decor. The next sale is scheduled June 17 through 20. “The old roof was rotten,” Hanson said, and they had to fix it or add some value to the property in the bargain. So they’re building a two-bedroom loft, which they’ll call home. Fred Jude Construction of Maple Lake is doing the work. People have been stopping and reminiscing with the workers. They say things like, “Oh, my uncle Fred was the butter maker here for years,” Hanson said. The Hansons also plan to replace the windows on the main floor. The creamery was built with a bank vault, which was used to store such things as papers and milk tests, Dircks said, and is still intact. The creamery, which produced butter and whole milk, was owned by nearly 500 farmers in the 1970s, but the numbers dwindled to the 20s by the time it closed, Dircks said. By then, many farmers had sold their land, she said, and bigger plants had taken away some of its business.
