Inscription. Joseph Sihelnik bought this vacant property in 1932 and built a combination store and dwelling on the land to be used by his niece, Miss Maggie Slicho. The store was sometimes known as Cove Grocery and was operated by Maggie until 1948 when it was sold to and used by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. In 1954 Martha Elliott, an internationally known artist who had recently moved to Panama City, purchased the property and used it for her studio and home until 1963.
