Wabash County Museum

36 East Market Street

Built: c. 1895

Style: 20th Century Functional

This structure dates to approximately 1895, and its earliest known occupant was the Big Four Mercantile Co. It has served as an undertaking business, a furniture store, a garment manufacturing establishment, and became a Sears, Roebuck store in 1937. Currently, the Wabash County Museum and the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau occupy the building.

The main features of the façade, which was added in the first half of the 20th century, are stylized Art Deco pilasters along the first story and three upraised brick bands below the cornice.
