| This building has gone through many iterations |
This building was a theater when we moved to Brookville in 1962. After that, it became a kind of drafting room, upstairs for Jackson Cable Company who did all the measurements for cable television and sold out to Time Warner. The building has been used as a place to buy ice in bags and it is where we go to get ice for daily use instead of trying to use ice cube trays in the refrigerator. It was a butcher shop for a number of years and written about in the Dayton Daily News because the parking lot was always full of customers on the weekends. They were famous for their Benlinger Baloney and other smoked meats and a German Baptist Lady made home made cakes and breads. It was just a great place to shop.

The rustic shingles on the marquee and edge of roof wasn't an improvement over the original face of the building.
That is such a middle America store front. There must be thousands of them still around that look just like that. But they have a place in our hearts because of the convenience and usefulness of what they sold way back when.
the cakes and bread part sounded great. :)
The small towns that I grew up in or around are still around and empty stores populate the streets. The community bank was the last holdout and now it closed and was consolidated with a larger bank in a larger town.
I love home made bread. I'd walk a mile for a chunk out of a freshly baked loaf.
