In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Hanlin's filled the storefronts from 601-607. In 1909, directories list Conrad & Dutcher, a dry goods, millinery and ladies furnishings store at 607.
Dutcher had a new partner in 1917 and the name changed to Dutcher and Conner, which operated there until they moved in 1926 to 609 N Main.
Sometime between 1930 and 1938, two long running businesses were established at these addresses; Graves Drug Co at 650 N Main and Townsend Dept Store at 607 N Main. By 1962, Townsend's had become Cunningham's which was also a department store. Cunningham's operated at this location until the early 1990s.
Graves Drugs ceased operation in the early 1970s
Today, the Kitchen Corner & Main Street Co operate from this address.
