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.
(Three photographs have been spliced together to capture the positions of all six of the buildings in one shot.)

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.
