History
4
At 8064 Hwy. 57 in Baileys Harbor, Roger Eatough built the original south part of this building in 1885. Its chipped stone foundation is no longer visible. The original section served as a drug store, furniture store, mortuary, and post office. In the 1950s, Ernald Viste bought the building and added the north part for a hardware store and a realty and insurance office. Because Viste was town clerk for 51 years, the building also often hosted town board meetings. More recently, it has been the location of Hjertehjem, which has been in business in Baileys Harbor for 36 years.
