Inscription. Originally built as a pharmacy for Mayview Park, this rustic structure would become Antlers in the 1930s. Hillis Icenhour continued his family's operation and ownership until the 1980s. Legend has it that Antlers was a provider of "spirits" before the sale of alcohol was legal. To this day it is known as a great place for fun and fellowship.
