Benjaman's Roadhouse restaurant occupies a portion of the site once known as Plumer-Hancock Block. Arnold Plumer acquired this property in 1833 and in November of 1868 he opened this three-story "flat iron" building. Banks, grocery stores, restaurants, drug stores, music stores and Western Union Telegraph offices once occupied the storefronts. Attorneys and insurance agencies leased office space in the upper two floors. A fire in 1981 destroyed the building.
