Text of historic marker on right side of building:
HISTORIC BUILDING circa 1903
118 FIRST ST.

First housed a funeral parlor
until 1906. For the next 52 years
O. L. Beasley and his heirs the
Woodmancys operated a clothing
store. From 1962-77, it was a
sporting goods and liquor store.
Later a pawn shop, after extensive
remodeling it became a wood
carving shop and supply store.
Paintings are also done here.
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 has a rectangular footprint that is three bays wide. Storefront fenestration defines the bays and consists of an entrance door flanked by aluminum-framed plate glass windows. These display windows rest on three-foot-high brick bulkheads. 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 it is non-contributing to the historic district.
