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

Alex Green, father of Comett
and Herman Green, was a part

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

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

addition about 1940 was convert

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

building to make way for the
service station development
Sharing quarters in the build

of mud in front of this build

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
