Zinzer Furniture building in November 2011

Peter Zinzer's Mammoth Furniture House (sometimes spelled Zinszer) was a furniture dealer located at 2115-2119 2nd Avenue North. It was founded in 1884 by Peter Zinzer and constructed a massive four-story store with a modern cast-iron and glass facade in 1889.

In 1904 the business was owned by Mrs. W. H. Wilder and managed by A. G. Miller with Joseph Zinzer as buyer. The store sold furniture, carpets, matting, stoves and home furnishings wholesale and retail.

The firm's four-story building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 23, 1980.
