Richard Mendenhall Store
1824
Richard Mendenhall built the store as an adjunct to his tanning business. His wares included general goods and food items. During the 20th century the building served as a private residence and also housed a variety of stores and offices. The interior originally comprised two rooms on each floor. The brickwork is laid in Flemish bond and includes a corbelled cornice, created by setting the bricks as an angle. Features of special interest include the pairing of an inside and outside chimney, a doorway on the second floor on the back of the house, and an exterior fireplace.
Marker is at the intersection of W Main Street and W Parkside Drive, on the left when traveling east on W Main Street.
