John S. Bennett moved his tin and hardware business here in the 1840s. In 1850, his brother Edwin joined him, and the firm employed about 50 men. The business was later called Treadwell and Davis, and then Treadwell and Folsom. In 1891, the building was purchased by J. H. Griffin, a selectman and legislator. The building remained a hardware business until the 1990s, making it one of the earliest wooden stores in continuous single use.
