About 1900, the St. Louis, Brownsville, and Mexico Railroad built a line through the McFaddin Ranch. The ranch settlement, temporarily renamed Marianna by the railroad, soon had a depot, post office, church, school, and several businesses, including this mercantile built in 1910. It served as a community gathering place and briefly housed the post office. The board-and-batten structure is a fine example of a small community mercantile store.
