 IN 1879, JAMES OSTRANDER BOUGHT a large lot on Church Street, and built a thriving shoe business. In 1882, he sold a portion of the lot to Charles Taber, who opened a tin shop on the site. Both businesses were lost in the 1886 fire, and both rebuilt on site. Mr. Taber built a two-story residence and store. In April 1894, John Secor bought the property for use as a tin shop and stove store, but he died less than a year later. Harmon Van Schaick leased the building as a hardware store, followed by Ira Secor and A. J. Manchester, who opened a plumbing business. In June 1901, the owners of the Enterprise purchased the building, as the first permanent home for the newspaper. The first issue from the
new location was published 13 December 1901.EN 1879, JAMES OSTRANDER compró una porción de terreno en la Calle Church, y creó una zapatería próspera. En 1882 le vendió parte del terreno a Charles Taber, quien abrió un taller
