apparently the 'anchor stove and range' building still stands and mr Gohmann's family home (built in the mid 1860's) is still there... I've seen kettles marked Terstegge and Gohmann but I've never seen the name associated with Anchor stove and range before... but they had at least one stove patent in 1887. I found this text on a site talking about his home.
Frank Gohmann purchased these two corner lots fronting Upper Elm and 8th Streets from John Briggs in April 1866, for $1000. This house was built immediately and by the printing of the 1868 New Albany City Directory, the Gohmann family was residing here.

Mr. Gohmann was one of the founders of the National Stove Foundry, established in 1865, and located on Sycamore Street (later renamed Culbertson Avenue) between Bank and Upper 4th Streets. This concern eventually evolved into the Terstegge, Gohmann Company, builders of Anchor Stoves and Ranges.

new albany itself is fairly small... but it has kind of merged with the other small towns of clarksville and jeffersonville and floyds knobs as 'suburbs' of louisville.
