On the northwest corner of Block 10, Franz Adelmann owned a store with a residence above it after buying the property at a sheriff's sale. After his death, the property passed to his wife, Francis Adelmann, in 1875. A fire in 1880 burned the businesses on the block, and in December 1881 she sold the property to Dr. J. N. McMurtrey, who operated a drug store and post office there. After his death, his son, C.J. McMurtrey, converted the building into the Commercial Hotel. In 1920 the property was sold to J.F. Dulworth and leased to Ernest Jadwin until January 1, 1920; another hotel operator was a Mr. Beeler. The hotel was later sold to J.C. Preston, who ran it until a 1925 fire destroyed the whole Dent Block, or Block 10. In April 1925 the property was sold to the Rubenstein family, who built a brick structure called the Rubenstein building. The Security State Bank operated on the northwest corner of the first floor, and later Joe Parker ran a pool hall there. From 1946 to 1956, the Western Auto Store occupied the site. Other first-floor businesses over the years included a restaurant run by Minnie Kettinger, a florist shop, electrical shop, jewelry store, shoe repair, and liquor store. Second-story offices housed Dr. B.M. Holmes, Dr. W.C. Wilson, Dr. John Hamilton, and others. In the basement, the A.P. (Aqua Pura) Club operated under Charlie Dale and later Howard (Dave) Chambers in 1953, with a jukebox and hamburgers, chili, and soda. When the building was destroyed by fire in 1973, Dr. B.J. Bass owned it. Mrs. Jean Bass sold the property to Craig Distributing Company, whose family had the fire-damaged structure torn down, filled in the basement, planted trees and flowers, and built a water fountain in the center. Craig Plaza was then created to honor Craig Distributing Company employees, and after the beautification project the company donated it to the City of Salem for administration and maintenance.
