Long Description:
The Battle Creek House, a stagecoach stop and the social and
political hub of the settlement from 1836 to 1866, stood here. The
balconied, three-story inn was destroyed by a fire late in the
1860's. In 1870, Daniel Reily put up a "solid brick" building
housing stores, offices, and, from 1903 to 1931, the Central
National Bank. It was known as the C. E. Thomas Block between 1892
and 1956. Remodeling by Peoples Savings and Loan Association in
1957 left the basic structure unchanged.

Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you
with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not
possible or preferable. Also include a bit about your visit to the
marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must
provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored.
(This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your
log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of
the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still
include a bit about your visit to the site.
