Text of historic marker on left side of building:
HISTORIC BUILDING
120 FIRST ST.

No record available of when 120
First St. was built. From 1902 to 1907
it was a post office. From 1907 to
1930 a grocery store. On July 26,
1909 Carrie Nation gave a lecture
in front about the evils of alcohol.
It has been an electrical shop,
candy shop, bus station (1936-45),
sporting goods and liquor store
and later a wood carving shop.
Current owners are
The Storms and Andersons


DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION 1992


The building is in good repair and is occupied by a woodcarving shop.
Date of Construction: c.1880

This brick one-part commercial block building has a rectangular footprint that is two bays wide. Storefront fenestration defines the bays and consists of an entrance door and an aluminum-framed plate glass window that rests on a three-foot-high brick bulkhead. A brick pier rises above the top of the storefront at the south end. Vertically grooved pressed wood siding covers the remainder of the facade.

The accumulation of non-historic alterations compromises the integrity of the building. It no longer conveys its historic associations and is non-contributing to the historic district.
