Inscription. This building was built between 1887 and 1891 with the first floor housing a grocery store and the upstairs used as office space. In the early 1900's it would become a dry goods and clothing store, then back to a grocery store. Around 1915 the McFarland Clothing Store occupied this building and the one to the east. After the closing of that store in the 1920's, it was converted and remodeled into the new Peoples Bank.
