brochure: A corral first, then Morris Harris came in '53 and opened a frame store. It was cindered by the town's epic fire. A newspaper tells us S. Harris was probably finishing a two-story brick in June 1863, selling shoes and clothing. From 1882 on, it was Abramofsky's cigar factory. Note the second floor balcony and brick facade atop it. Most likely those iron shutters are original.
