Hill Building
This building was constructed about 1895 by Turney amp; Son of elongated yellow brick. Until 1932, the roof line featured large castellations. It housed the Rabb amp; McCollum furniture store and undertaking parlor until 1907. The variety store of J.M. Moffitt followed. Beginning in 1930 a series of drug stores, City Drug Company, Mize Drug Store and Crow Pharmacy were here. The upper floor provided office space for attorneys, dentists, and physicians who dropped their prescriptions down to the druggist through a hole in the floor.
