The Grants building has played
an important role in this areas rich history. It
was moved to the present location in 1880 when it was opened as
the Peerless
Skating Rink. Through the years it has housed a Windmill Factory,
a Harness
Shop, Grain Buying Offices, Commercial Printers, Local Newspapers,
a
Barbershop, a Jewelry Store, Country Grocery Store and a Department
Store.
In 1939 an enterprising young man named Grant
Johnston, of Kalamazoo, purchased the business. He established
a modern day department Store called “ Grant’s Store”.
In November, 2008 Grant’s Antiques
was sold to the Graham's and to this day
still functions as an antique mall with the addition of gifts. To this day it is still a mystery as to where the building was moved from to its current location. If you have any information or historical photo's from Galesburg, please let us know, we would love to make copies and put them on display! |
