Regarding Miners Restaurant & Exchange. From the "Walking Main Street Jackson" tour brochure: Wooden stores stood here in the early 1850s. Frenchmen had a bowling alley before 1857. It was Miner's Restaurant & Exchange when the 1862 fire roared through. Merchants named S. Brandt and Witte erected this two-story brick classical revival in 1863. Renovated and refitted in 1873, it housed a sausage factory in 1898 and a shoe store in the 1980s. The first story facade was remodeled, maybe around 1925.
