History

Frank Randell Moore established one of the first businesses in the district when he established his blacksmith shop on the corner adjacent to T Elliott's block. It became a rendezvous for settlers, and the Moore's home was a place for the ladies to rest and have a cup of tea when visiting town. Moore later made rainwater tanks.
