When this building was originally built back in 1952. It was Saunder's Auto Parts. The man who built this building was Pete Saunder.
Than in 1977, it was turned into Butcher's Used Tractors and the large fencing was put up all around the property.
Than in about 2000 the building was taken over and turned into an antique store. Since than it has been owned by three different people. In June of 2012 my parents purchased the store and we have been making big changes.
After we took over the store we were told that there is a ghost that haunts the building. Well after talking to Pete Saunder's son we believe the ghost to be of Pete. We actually have not seen him yet but have had a few things moved around.
Thanks for sharing the history of the building!
ReplyDeleteI've recently become more interested in the history of the various places around our community. I enjoy imagining all that might have taken place there, what the people looked like during that time, and why it had to change from what it was.
Your blog has been enjoyable - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to read. I love history stories and I sometimes collect those and share with my friends. I will tell this story to my roommate later.
