1898: open lot

Beside this space to the north is a small 1-story brick barbershop; just past that is a row of three brick storefronts. The empty lot continues to the south, and a well is located in that space.

The address is now 413. However, the map seems to indicate that the name "Emma Street" continues on this side of Main down to the Trade Street corner; the address, then, was likely 413 Emma Street.
C. W. Drace was a leader in all kinds of high-tech pursuits. An old photograph shows his building advertising "Victor Talking Machines," a later part of RCA and the developer of the "dog listening to a victrola" image, showing on a sign over the building. It reads with Victor's classic tagline, "his master's voice."
By 1904, the barbershop building to the north has been removed and replaced with a full-size storefront matching those beyond it. Now, this lot holds two structures: on the north side is a small single-story wood building appears on the map, labeled "Photo." On the south side is an even smaller single-story wood building labeled "Meat." See the photograph which shows Drace's studio in this small wood building.

In February 1911, both structures are gone. This lot now holds a single full-size storefront matching the rest of the street; it holds a general store. This remains true for the 1922 and 1930 maps.
The tiny butcher shop has now moved into a larger brick building just south of this: the odd triangular structure between this lot and 100 Trade.
Drace has moved to a larger building on Trade Street.

By 1951 the Sanborn map shows the street name had changed to East Poinsette [sic] and this building was now numbered 110.
