On this corner in a long building stood Richland’s first post office and a shoe shop. John Audulph, son of first settler Henry Audulph, was appointed postmaster of Chisholm on Apr. 16, 1839. Six months later, on Nov. 26, 1839, Chisholm became Richland, named for the nearby Baptist Church, and John Audulph continued as postmaster. Across the street, Henry Audulph had built a two-story log house. Later owned by the Richard J. Snelling family, it was used as an inn at this stagecoach crossroads. The present city park was enclosed by a high fence and used by the Audulphs as a corral for oxen, cattle and deer. A general store stood on the northeast corner from 1830 to 1956.
