Inscription.
These two buildings were located directly behind this brick Lumberyard building. These two buildings were the first business buildings built in Lisco by Reuben Lisco in 1909. These buildings faced south on 2nd St. These buildings were moved to different locations, within the lumber yard, and used for lumber storage when the newer brick building was built by Sterling Lumber. Presently there is a dwelling and a mobile home upon this location.
