An early limestone structure with carved cornices stand beneath the modern stuccoed façade. Early uses of the building included a local lodge meeting hall on the second floor, and a hardware/grocery store and, later, the county’s oldest newspaper, the Williamson County Sun, on the first floor.
Additional Information:
While the earliest record of the building is 1885, it may have been built even earlier. Some of the original windows were obscured over time and it is covered by a brick veneer. After the turn of the last century it was referred to as the "old Odd Fellow's Building", as the lodge met on the second floor.
