This large building was built prior to 1892 as a triple store building. In 1892 the North store was a grocery store, the middle was a drugstore and the South was a harness shop. All stores remained the same except for the South store. In 1908 the businesses were C.M. Thompson Grocery Store, O.E. Davis Drugstore, and Roman & Felix Dry Goods. In 1911 there was still a grocery and drugstore, but the South store was now a clothing store. In 2003 the three store fronts were a wedding shop, gift shop and an office supply company. Today the building holds Dave's Pizza and Sweet Shop, and Dave's Pub.
