7. E.W. Talbott Building (1904)
With its wooden storefront, recessed double-door entry and decorative metal cornice, this early store typified commercial building traditions of its day. Early records indicate its use as a grocery store, followed by continuous retail and grocery occupation. Restoration was completed in 1983. This structure suffered extensive damage in 1998 as a result of a fire next door and was renovated as offices in 1999.
