J. K. McClelland built this two-story structure during the boom years of the 1920's. Hollow tile, a fired brick smaller than that used today, shows in portions of the building. Mr. McClelland used the space for a bookstore. Both new and used schoolbooks were sold here on consignment after WWII. Sundries included old postcards for collectors and many other odds and ends. Mr. McClelland built and lived in the house next door with his wife and children. When the two-story space was needed for another business in the 1950's the left-hand part of the downstairs was used as a garage for a hearse, and the right-hand space was a casket showroom and an office for the funeral personnel. The second floor space was divided into living quarters and rented to winter visitors.
In the early 2000s, the Pressellers purchased the building and operated a popular delicatessen and gallery. Later it was occupied by several restaurants including Table 209, Carmelo’s, and Mint Thai.
