The addition on the north of the building was built about 1910, according to the calcula tion of Cornett Green, who won't vouch for the date. This attachment housed the post office, which was character ized by Its high celling. Alex Green, father of Comett and Herman Green, was a part ner with A. M. Phelps In the t'neips urocery, start or wnicn preceded the advent of the post office. Green sold to Phelps who continued the store in a part of the building, and the Farmers and Stockgrowers Bank came In on the corner. The bank eventually moved In to the hotel building still the Heppner Hotel at the corner of Main and Willow. Green be lieves this was about 1926. The bank hit the depression time and went out of business, prob ably around 1930. When the bank went out of the "Fair" building, a shoe and clothing store came in on the corner. Alex Green opened a feed store In the building in about 1931. Peterson's Jewelers, owned by J. O. Peterson, father of Randall Peterson, present genial Jewel er, was located in a part of the structure for some time, and the E. R. Huston Grocery was mere, too. Used for Warehouse After passing its heyday, the building was sold to Allen Case, and with the corner portion empty, he used it for a ware house for years. As Green recalls, it served this purpose until Winn Crist put In a restaurant on the cor ner not too many years ago. The addition about 1940 was convert ed into a motel. Ron Reld oper ated a flower shop in the cen ter portion about five or six years ago. The county welfare office occupied quarters on the south side of the structure un til being forced to move with the building about to be razed. Jerry Hollomon also had to va cate his barber shop from the building to make way for the service station development Sharing quarters in the build ing about the time Reld had his flower shop there, Carl Spauldlng had his accounting office In the structure. Some years back, Mrs. Lucille Owens and her husband, now deceased, operated a hardware store in the middle of the build ing. Street Muddy In wet weather, Green re calls, the street was often a sea of mud in front of this build ing. Concrete crosswalks were put in to make it easier to get across the streets, but wagons would hit them as they plied the streets, finding them as bumpy barriers to cross. While the old building by Tuesday was reduced to a heap of old bricks and lumber, it is certain that there will be many informal monuments to its memory around town. Many of the citizens have been carting off the brick for walks, outdoor fireplaces or oth- in Any Ad by Merchants in This Newspaper' your own name and address!
