and store and post office by W.B. Eagan.  It is mentioned in the minutes of early City Council meetings when W.B. petitioned to build scales in front

to weigh hay and grain.  He sold it when he built the larger homes to the east and it passed through several hands before it was bought in October 1907

by the Parrill family when they moved from Meacham.  It has been their home ever since.  It has been extensively remodeled several times.

Miss Luella lives here alone since the death of her sister, Evangline."   The caption underneath this picture in the Centennial book was the following:
