| Odd Fellows Hall | |
|
This building which still stands on Main Street was originally built in 1906. There was an Odd Fellows Hall on the second floor, and various businesses on the first floor. Buddy Rouse, owner of the building, tells me that it was built as a "common law condominium:" that the Odd Fellows actually owned the second floor, later owned by the Masonic Lodge, while the businesses owned or rented the bottom floor.
The bottom floor was originally a grocery, late the Jones Drug Store,
later the Brakefield Drug Store, later a third Drug Store under the
management of Ed and Janet Harden, and the law offices of Rouse and
Rouse since 1976.
