The business now known as Bucko’s Party Store has occupied this building continuously since ca. 1904. Prior to that time other business were located here including a clothing store. The Gately-Wiggins Department Store, a familiar name to many local residents, got their start in Calumet here too, prior to erecting their own building on Sixth Street. Around 1904 Dusala Barsotti opened a confectionery here with Angelo Dell’Osso. By 1907, the Barsotti family had bought out Dell’Osso, and ran the business until about 1960. There have been many different owners since then with product lines and the name of the store have changed to keep pace with the times.
