J. C. Smock, General Merchandise

Title

J. C. Smock, General Merchandise

Description

Black and white image of a single-story building with a glass front and gingerbread trim on the front gable. 'J. C. Smock. General Merchandise' is lettered on the front facade, while along the side is written 'Farm Products a Specialty.' A boardwalk and a dirt road front the store. Because his store held the first post office in the area, the community was originally known as 'Smockville,' and later changed to Sherwood. This is the second building he built for his store.
