?Historical Walk # 10 ? Beeson Building
Main Street between 4th and 5th Avenue
This all concrete structure was built by F.R. Beeson in 1909 after a fire had leveled the entire block. It was the biggest permanent building in town at that time. A large apartment upstairs was home to Mr. and Mrs. Beeson after moving out of their home just around the corner on the north side of Main Street. Their home is now the Beeson House Antiques, 118 4th Avenue North.
In 1911 Mr. Florance R. Beeson erected this concrete building, later owned by his son Hugh. Though damaged, it survived a fire that destroyed neighboring structures on April 11, 1928. The city?s first true office building, it has housed restaurants, a drug store, a furniture company, a dance hall and medical offices. Both Beesons were business and community leaders.
