1890s Rural Store

This building, constructed in the 1890s to replace an earlier store, has operated as a store and post office for more than 125 years.

Alterations and additions have occurred over time as the community it served grew and product lines changed. In this instance, the manner in which the building has been adapted to accommodate changes in demand over time is as valuable as the original built form.
