Another early building is the former Purcell House and Store that stands at 131-133 East Main Street. This early-to mid-19th century structure consists of several sections that were built at different periods. The earliest log section may date to circa 1815 with mid-to-late 19th century additions. Valentine Purcell, the area's first postmaster, lived and worked here.
