History

The Alpha Saloon and Hall stood on this site until a fire in 1855. After that fire, another wood-frame building was erected, and a store and barbershop occupied it until the fire of 1862 destroyed the new building. B.F. Woodward then used rock from the local mines to erect the fieldstone and brick building that stands here today. From 1862 until the turn of the century, the upstairs housed a variety of saloons, including the Snug Harbor and the Military Saloon, while the street-level floor served as a livery stable. In 1908, the building became home to the Alpha Hardware Co., which remained there until the store closed in 1980.
