124 North Holden, Formerly a two story building was here. The upper story was removed in 1963. This was one of three buildings that burned in 1874. In 1883 a confectionery was here, but by 1893 it was the Jewel Saloon run by W.D. Thurber. It was then a bakery and restaurant for many years, being run by Bundy & Miller in 1900. It was the Moss and Roberts Grocery in 1907, but by 1908 it had become the Boston Candy Factory. It stayed this for several years, but by 1912 it was William Santhuly Fruit & Confectionery. By 1936 it was Greggs Dry Goods and later it became Palmers Dry Goods
