This site, where the majestically restored façade now stands, once held a building erected about 1869 by Dan Hoerster. Hoerster became brand inspector for the county and was shot near here in 1875 during the HooDoo War. Hoerster’s brother Fritz built a new building on this site in 1906.
This building has the most striking storefront on the Square. Market Square now resides here. It is a wonderful shop offering a wide variety of unique gifts and furnishings, and is well worth a visit.
