This building was constructed c. 1886 and has had several different uses over the years. It was initially used for the manufacturing of buggies, wagons, and plows, and later became a harness shop and then a grocery store. By 1940 it is identified as a beer warehouse on the Sanborn map. From the mid-1960s until 1978 it was a barber shop, at which time it became a part of the offices of the Flatonia Argus, which was located next door at 214 S. Penn, and is still operating as such to this day.
