Dating from circa 1885. This was the Charles E. Howell General Store, from 1896-1921. While in operation, the store stood on the east side of the Wittman Rabbitry. It was moved from its original site in 1940. It has since been used as a private residence. Howell General Store, photo by Albert Bayles.
