"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
