BUILDING HISTORY
Back in the 1850s, George T. Soule and his brothers built what we call today The Granary. Back in the day, the brothers were local builders and had a hand in supplying materials and building many of the local structures from that era. They also sold grains and feed out of the building, but building supplies, and actually building local structures was their mainstay. Long after the Soule brothers were gone, the building slowly fell into disrepair with various businesses occupying its space. But back in 2002, Cass came across this decrepit building and somehow after about 18 months convinced his architect father get involved. Then in 2003 the father and son team purchased the building. Nearly 3 years later in 2006 the building was reborn as The Granary. Cass has since lovingly cared for the building and its surroundings.
