Smith-Vaughn Mercantile Co.
Let's see if I remember. This picture was taken from a 1978 Harding yearbook. I moved to Searcy in 1967 and this business was in operation. I started working in the real estate field in 1979. I transferred to Powell Realty a few years later and Powell Realty was located right beside this building. The address on this building says 309 East Race and my understanding is that when this building was built and located here it was in the middle of lovely residential property with Dr. Porter Rodgers having a mansion right in front of it so this picture must be quite old. And here I notice a nice looking home located right beside this building!
Perhaps the age of the car could tell us more about what happened. I think Powell Realty's building had been a pizza restaurant before becoming a real estate location. Sleuths, can you remember? When did this house come down and who lived there?
