704 - 706 N Main has a long history of businesses. In 1887, the Angood family had a store at this location. Up until the mid 1920s, the Angoods operated businesses in 704 and 706 N Main. Other businesses that were located in the buildings were the Santa Fe Shaving Parlor operated by Swengel & Sons and Hetzel's Clothing Shop.
In the 1960s, Maxwell Flowers was located at this address.
During a time of updating the town, metal siding was installed on these building and many others along N Main. However by the mid 1990s there was renewed appreciation for the older architectural details and the siding was removed.
