The 1869 Lewis & Flanders Block and the Ankeny Block were two buildings that shared the same external architectural detailing. They covered the entire block between SW Vine and Ash Streets, Front and 1st Avenue. Originally two stories, both buildings were increased to three stories at some point. The buildings were demolished in the 1940s and replaced with the Central Fire Station. Knapp, Burrell & Company were one-time occupants of the building.
