Meet the Owner

Painted Barrels building was built in 1881 on a lot purchased from the railroad.  Ed Fanger and his brother F.E. owned and operated a grocery and provisions store in the building until 1883, when Minerva Arnold bought it for a millinery shop.  The building changed hands several more times over the years.  It housed a dress shop, a floral shop, and most recently served as law offices until being vacated around 2010.  in 2019, Carrie and Nancy breathed life into the old girl again, with their new gifts & decor shop! Sabrina plans to continue their efforts as she grows into other ventures!  With its ornate upper facade and original awning, the building is pictured at right, circa 1900.
