"The Glosemeyer General Store is a two story rural general store located along the Katy
Trail in the former depot town of Peers at 16011 Concord Hill Road, Marthasville, Warren
County, Missouri. The building was constructed by George Glosemeyer in 1893, designed to be
a commercial space on the first story and a single-family residence on the second story. It was
opened for commercial use in 1896. The main building is approximately 2,300 square feet and is
slightly L-shaped. It features a front gabled roof made of tin. The original white wood
weatherboard siding covers both stories of the south façade’s exterior wall and the second story
of the north façade’s exterior wall. The remainder of the building’s exterior walls are covered by
white vinyl siding over the original clapboard following the flood of 1993.
"The general store is in excellent condition. Its interior floor plan remains unchanged since
1917 after the east and west wings were added. The exterior has retained the same appearance
since the 1940s, when the original front porch was replaced due to flood damage. The white
vinyl siding on the north, east, and west façades has been designed to look like the original white
wood weatherboard siding that still covers the south façade and part of the north façade.
Additionally, the surrounding land remains largely unaltered. The store stands just steps away
from what was once the Missouri, Kansas, Texas Railroad line, known as the “Katy.”" ~ NRHP Nomination Form
