Hyrum L. Clark Building

Hyrum L. Clark moved this small frame building, formerly Owen and Ren Halliday’s meat market, onto this location next to his general merchandise store, c.1920.  He rented it to Ray Frampton and Sy Kemp, barbers, and a traditional barber’s pole was mounted to the south front of the building.  In 1969, Joseph P. McRae purchased the building from H. Winfield Clark and continued the barber trade here.

Located at 19 South Main Street in Pleasant Grove on historic Main Street.

Star Saloon

In 1901 David N. Adamson constructed this building expressly for a saloon, which it has remained for more than 117 years.  David, a sawmill operator and sheep man from Heber, Utah, also built a Victorian-style house on Main Street and owned other property.  After his death, his widow, Elizabeth, and their daughters continued to rent the saloon out until 1942.

Baxter Building/Firehouse

This building was constructed c.1910 by Cornelius Baxter, east of his first commercial building.  It housed various businesses until 1928.  That April, the city leased it, installed double facade doors, and poured a cement ramp to make a permanent firehouse for Pleasant Grove’s fire motor-driven fire truck, a surplus army truck converted in 1924.  The marshal’s office was in the back room.  After restoration c.1940, it again housed businesses.

Baxter Commercial

Cornelius Baxter purchased the property in 1893, constructing this building soon after.  Baxter, an 1873 Scottish immigrant and coal miner, owned the 11-room Hawley House, a hotel just to the west (demolished).  His daughter, Agnes Burns, operated a café in the building, one among numerous cafes housed here over the years.  The building later housed a bike shop and a barber shop.
