1. Centerville Co-op Store Marker
This frame store, built by Joel Parrish about 1903, faced Main Street on the northeast comer of Main and Center Streets. An addition on the north was used for storage. On the east side of the store was a two-story rock addition which housed bushels of grains, as well as sacks of flour and other supplies. Later, another addition was built for an ice house.
Co-owners of the store at various times were Joel Parrish, Benjamin Brown, Charles Smith, and Carlos Smith. John Adams, Sr. was clerk.
In 1907, a fire ignited large quantities of kerosene which caused the store to burn down. Mr. Brown continued the store in several other locations until he built a new brick Co-op on the same site in about 1909.
Erected by City of Centerville.
