Inscription. This building was built to match the two buildings to the west in the mid 1880's. It originally housed a dry goods store. In the 1890's it was purchased by Thomas P. Bethshares to house his new dry goods and grocery store. Mr. Bethshares would later leave the dry goods behind and become solely a grocery store. This store's famous saying was "Wants 1000 Dozen Eggs". It was also the home to Rosenbloom's Store. It underwent a restoration in 2017.
