My Commentary:
This building now houses the Calico Rock Museum - a free museum that highlights the history of the area with displays of artifacts, art, and other memorabilia. The museum is also the Visitor Bureau for the town and the surrounding area.
There is a marker on the right side of the facade. It reads:
