The last old building on the bay

There has been a store on this corner since 1884. It has come back from fire more than once, traded names a few times, and outlasted the steamers, the sawmill and the hotel on the pier. The murals on our walls tell some of the story. The one-room museum next door at the Landing tells the rest.
