147 North Main
The Palace Clothing Co.  1902- 1980
1925 - Emil Weil

Emil Weil bought two brick buildings on this site that were joined with a common wall that separated a tailor shop from a meat market.  When Weil raised the old buildings to rebuild, he kept the functionality of the common wall, which separated his Palace Clothing Company from a Piggly Wiggly grocery.
