A view from the 1930s shows the southwest corner of Broadway and Flint Street with A.L. Griggs Drug Store on the corner. The neighboring building, built in the early 1900s, is L-shaped with entrances at 12 South Broadway and 21 West Flint Street, and it housed the Beemer and Carlton General Store early in the second decade of the 20th century. South of it stood Best Market and Barney's Tavern, then occupying the J.C. Predmore building. The Griggs building, built in 1881, housed Griggs from 1910 into the 1960s and was owned by Lee and Mabel Griggs, who lived downtown at 209 E. Flint Street. In the 1920s, Beemer and Carleton General Store and the Orion Post Office occupied part of the Griggs building.
