My Commentary:
This building is now the home of the Printing Press Cafe and Ice Cream Parlor. The newspaper ceased operations in 1984.
1906. Built by Nick Rand, this three bay structure is the only building with an arched entrance and flanking two-light windows with segmental transoms. The recessed entrance features a double-door entrance with angled sidelights and transom. This interesting storefront is primarily intact.

Built in 1906 by Nick Rand, this storefront originally welcomed customers to the grocery company office. Later, it was storage for the Hall Funeral Home.

120 Main—built in 1906 by Nick Rand to house the Calico Rock Grocery Company. The 2-story building at 114 Main was the grocery/general store, while the 1-story building at 120 Main was the grocery company office.
After serving as funeral parlor storage, 120 Main was the office for the Calico Rock Progress?? Or other way around? It features large arched openings for the recessed central door and storefront windows. Although the upper sashes of the 2-over-2 storefront windows are now boarded, you can see the fanlight transoms. The storefront also retains its original wood bulkheads.
