The Old Rock Store, built in 1879 for the general merchandise business of G. W. Ragsdill, was associated with a nearby hotel and wagon yard that he owned and operated. It was later used for many other businesses. Its top floor served as a hall for W.O.W., A.F.& A. M., and I.O.O.F. lodges, and in 1912 it was used for a movie. Judge M. E. Blackburn, Sr., was the owner in 1964.
