History

In 1870, this square was a cabin-dotted woodland, but it soon had buildings of stone quarried less than a mile away. Investor John D. Baker built this structure in 1882, and in 1890 sold it to saloonkeepers Aston & Landers. Extensive repairs were made in 1891 after a fire in this and neighboring buildings. By 1895, former County Clerk J.R. Morris had a hardware and tin shop here, and Lon Morris, a widely known lawyer and college benefactor, had his offices on the second floor.
