Also see . . .  Buhne's Chandlery. The Times-Standard's 2005 article as part of a "Restore and Preserve" supplement. Notes that the structure experienced numerous uses over the building's existence, as not only has it been a general store and chandlery, but also bowling alley and shooting gallery, a plumbing shop, cabinetry shop, and more recently, a gallery and a maritime museum.
