The Santa Fe Land Office was located on the south side of the track on the west side of Main. Constructed in 1871, the stone structure was torn down in 1967. Muse & Spivey were land agents for the Santa Fe and sold land to early residents and businesses.

Over the years, the building was home to many different businesses. In 1962, the vacant building was condemned and torn down. Photo is from ca 1960.
