West Main Street Project - 5 W Main

This building was a one story building  when Mr. Jones next door added on to his. shortly after a second story was added. The building has housed a number of businesses through the years. It was a Meat Market for many years owners were J. D. Hall, then William A. Smith he ran the meat market until about 1916 when he sold the business to Louis Specht, my great, great, grandfather. The Specht's would run the business until 1941 when Donald King took over and ran a grocery store and meat market. He remained in business until sometime in the 1960's, it then became Babcock Automotive.
