In the 1890's Mr. Ezra Minnick, a well-known county magistrate, operated a little store at this location. In 1917 Mr. Ola E. Fink bought the property and built the present red brick structure where he owned and operated a general store. Sometime in the 1930's, the Gladhill furniture company used the commercial space as their retail showroom. Then in the 1950's the "American Store" (Acme) occupied this site. Later in 1978 Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Arnett purchased the building and operated a grocery store for many years.
