Cardon emigrated from Italy in 1854 and six years later joined the union Army and fought in the Civil War. The three-story brick and stone structure was, "the first business house of that size in the city," wrote the local paper in December 1892. The building was leased to various firms over the years. W. T. Shearman's general merchandise store was probably the first, followed by Robinson Brother's Clothing Store in 1904. Another firm that may have leased the building in 1904 was Brock & Wood Temperance Pool Hall on the upper floor. |
