Inscription. Built in the early twentieth century, little is known about this old structure other than it served as the location for the town's 'Dry Cleaners' for many years. Because of the buildings age and shape, it is speculated that it most likely was the site of other 'retail' enterprises. The extremely dilapidated building was moved to its current location and stabilized by Somervell Precinct 4 personnel in the early 2000's after Paluxy Heritage Park was established.

Erected by Somervell County Historical Commission, Somervell County Precinct 4, and Texas Master Gardeners - Somervell County.
