Inscription. In 1910, a cobbler's shop and the Winchester Fire Department's hose house occupied this site. Shortly after 1948, Vaughan Hardware Co. built an open lumber shed here that was enclosed in 1958 to house their business. Modern improvements included large front windows, fluorescent lighting, and suspended heaters and blowers. After Vaughan's closed in 1965, the building was used for a variety of businesses and shops, until it was completely renovated again in 2008 for the law office of Swafford, Peters, Priest & Hall.
