This large frame building housed the Emil Pfeffer Mercantile Store, with an open porch extending across the entire front and wrapping around the north side. The Weilbacher family acquired the building in the 1920s and called it their "up-town" store because their main store stood at Main and Locust Street. The "up-town" store operated from the 1930s through the 1950s.
