C.A. Nethery & Sons General Merchandise

Charles Alexander Nethery, Sr. established a general merchandise business near this site in 1880. Nethery married Amanda Francis Speights in 1884 and the couple had twelve children. When fire destroyed the first store in 1915, the current structure was built a few yards from the original site. After Charles Sr.'s death in 1942, the business continued under the management of their son, Charles Jr., until his death in 1996. It is still owned and operated by members of the Nethery family and is the oldest continually operated business in Sabine County. The rectangular frame building, with a second-story loft, has exterior walls and a roof clad in heavy-duty corrugated metal.
