According to the 1888 Sanborn map this building was in existance prior to the map. Jensen reports that the building was built in 1878. However, the 1888 Gazetteer indicates that Dunn and Co. (Jones and Jone's F.) occupied the building. By 1903 William H. Freshwater, the son of William, who had begun business in Provo in 1871; had moved his hardware and grocery business into the building. Freshwater was a non-Mormon which put him in competition with Mormon cooperative businesses. Cal Bee recalls a verse popular when . he was young: Mother can I go to shop? Yes, my darling daughter. Buy your goods at the East Co-op, But not at Freshwater! Freshwater remodeled the building extensively in 1909. owe:~d Researcher: Date: Site No. --=-~",---,f$~___ Kathryn MacKay Utah State Historical Society Historic Preservation Research Office Structure/Site Information Form 1z 0 ~. u iL Street Address: 138 West Center, Provo Plat A BI68 Lot T.
