2016- "This structure was built of cement blocks for Oscar Johnson to use as a blacksmith shop. Brothers Julius and Napolean Olson operated the shop until the late 1920's when they went out of business due to the advancement of the automobile. It housed Mike's Garage and Towing in the 1980's. In 1987, Gerry and Pam Moore bought it from Leonard and Lorraine Grell. The Moores use it as their residence."
