This building was erected by John H. Seely & Robert Hinckley in 1919. It occupies what was historically known as the “old Peel corner.” The building was originally occupied by stores, a car showroom and a garage with the capacity to hold 88 cars, and a fire station at the rear of the building.

Built in 1919 as the Seely-Hinckley Building, it occupies what was historically known as the “old Peel corner.” The building originally was occupied by stores, a garage with a capacity to hold 88 cars, and at the rear, a fire station. Later it was converted to a multi-use building and housed Squire Jewelry and Floral, Forsey Ice Cream, post office and a barber shop in the front stores, Valley Builders Lumber in the central part of the building, and six residential apartments in the north section. Presently the building houses the “Triangle Lounge” and the “Pyramid”, the local newspaper.
An early modern building, with subtle suggestions of art Deco. Four bays wide along the front, with decorative brick work in flat patterns, originally had splayed entries. One bay with entry and transom is intact, the others have been filled in with plywood or concrete block.
