History:
• E. F. Royal built a two-story "two-store” building here after the fire of 1901.
• The north half was occupied by E.F. Royal, as a grocery, confectionery and meat market.
• A clothing store was located on the south side from 1903 to 1967 (Marshall then Cummings Store), followed by the Blossom Shop for a short time (operated by Ellsworth Bunnell), and lastly Paul's Shoe Store
• Advertised upstairs were "two very nice commodious tenements” as well as "four nicely arranged toilet rooms, one for each tenement and store."
• This building was torn down in 1969 to accommodate a parking lot for the then Farmers & Traders Bank, later to become the Citizen's Bank.
Fun Fact -
It is said an entire year's worth of coal reminds buried under the pavement.
