An early photograph taken outside the Schultz Store, complete with Model T Fords and horse-drawn wagons. |
An early photograph taken inside the Schultz Store. |
Opened in 1884 and operating out of this building since 1906, the Schultz Store is still operating in 2001 as a grocery store (selling locally grown fresh produce), meat market, deli counter, hamburger and short-order grill (with several tables for seating), feed store, hardware store, & gas station. |
|
The now dilapidated Schultz Shed, across the street from the store, stored many large items, including caskets, cars (Model T Fords as well as Star Cars), furniture, horse carriages and wagons, as well as assorted other items. |

Across Farm Road 1940 are the Schultz
Store's agricultural buildings, which included feed lots and holding
pens for hogs, cows, & horses, as well as a ramp to load animals and
produce directly onto waiting railroad cars. |
On the day after the above photographs were taken, an errant spark from an intended control-burn fire ignited the old wooden barn to the extreme right (in the photo above). It was quickly engulfed in flames and was totally destroyed in a matter of minutes. |
