The Hoffman House Hotel · Thro Clothing Co.

—1863 · George Ochri —

Thro & Company Clothing, formerly a 137 N. Main (shown above), has been owned and managed by the Thro family since 1898 when Jean Baptiste Thro, Sr., and his nephew Jean Baptist Thro, Jr., founded the clothing store. J.D. Thro, Senior's Unlce Melchior Thro had been in the mercantile business in this area since arriving in the US in 1837 from Alsace-Lorraine.

This current structure actually dates to two buildings, one stone (built pre-1850) and the 1863 Hoffman House Hotel. In 1949 F.W. Woolworth Co. bought both buildings and tore down the south stone building and substantially remodeled the hotel structure. The south building was a saloon, the Grand ice cream parlor with a two-story brick addition for the candy kettle, a drug store, and then "the dime store", for more than four decades.
