History

The Aston-Landers Building was erected in 1893 as a saloon by Andy Aston and George Landers, built of native stone with a patented iron front. A 1901 duel here badly injured a non-participating horseman on the square. Carrie Nation visited Granbury in 1905, and in 1906 voters outlawed liquor. Afterward, Aston operated his buggy and harness shop in the building, employing fine leather craftsmen Charlie Maxwell and Wilkes McCuen. Later, the building housed shops of many kinds.
