Industry
Built in 1868, the first frame building at 129 Wyoming Street housed boots and shoes and served as a shoe repair shop until 1916. In 1920, Jones Lumber Co. moved to this location after the original building was razed. Later, the site again housed a shoe repair and store until 1941, when it became a carpenter shop. The V.F.W. held meetings here until 1945, when it was purchased for a shoe store. Thomas Johnson, the current owner, has operated his shoe shop here since 1948. It is the only wood frame business building in Pleasant Hill today.
