- Description:
- The large brick building on the left with the balcony was built by merchant John V. Lambertson in 1868. Businesses in this building included G.C. Dennis Drugs & Stationery and E.J. Lambertson, who took over the business from his father. On the second floor was Charles Compte, who dealt in insurance and real estate. The next building on the right is another two-story brick building with a decorative cornice, built by businessman Louis Eugene Palmer in 1883. It housed H.H. Stalker, a shoe merchant and a barbershop. The single-story building to the right was also built by Palmer and was known as Palmer's Palace Rink, used for roller skating. By the 1890s, the front half of the building had been divided into storefronts. Here, the Arnold & Schultz meat market is visible, as well as another barbershop. The two-story building on the far right was also built by Palmer in 1896. As of 2018, all of these Palmer buildings still exist, but the Lambertson building was razed in 1940 to make way for the D&C Building. After D&C closed in 1993, it has been the site of numerous restaurants. (BL-87) Bob Lytle Collection
