One of the 12 featured properties includes the 208 N. Main St., J.E. Simmons Building (see picture below):
“This handsome, little altered 2-story brick store with parapet, pedimented cornice, arched central window, keystoned windows, bracketed and pilastered first story was built in 1910 by J.E. Simmons. The store was used as a furniture store for the family furniture business until it closed in 2016. This property is a contributing structure.”
