This house sits on the north side of Market Street.
It has housed a restaurant for much of its life. William Musser, who had a restaurant on First (Water) Street moved to this location formerly owned by Joe Keister. Since that time, it has been owned and operated as a restaurant by Frank Milliken, Elmer Dolan, John Emery and for about four to five decades, by Frank and Belva Jane (Milliken) Hackedorn. They lived in the upstairs and operated a restaurant out of the first floor.
According to an interview with Frances Kauffman Crimmel conducted by Carlen McClure in 2009, Frederick Richer Carpenter (father of teacher Philip Carpenter) operated a small tailor shop in the west portion of this building some time in the past.
Since the house number shows 206A, the building may have been divided into two living units.

Market Street facing east toward the Railroad Bridge. The entrance to Hackedorn's Restaurant would be just beyond the children on the left of the photo and the Barber Shop just beyond the restaurant. The building on the right at the foot of the railroad bridge is the building that contained the A&P Store. It appears that the photo was taken from Market Street about half way between Second and Third Streets. (Photo submitted by Wayne Taylor)
