Looking down the covered walkway of Merchants' Row. The storefront closest was originally the Opera House that was built circa 1840.
"The original building was a small one-story structure. It was widened and an upper story and the present storefront was constructed between 1850-1860. The building has been used as a photographer's studio, a U.S. Post Office, a general merchandise."
From the Historic Downtown Perryville Walking Tour pamphlet.
The second building seen in this section of the row was the Parks Dry Goods Store, circa 1840.
"Parks Dry good Store was built in 1840. The Parks Store was owned by William Huston Parks, the brother in law of Wallace Green, the local druggist. In 1870, Mr. Parks bought the store from another local store owner. A shrewd businessman, Mr. Parks opened three other stores in the 1800's, an unusual occurrence for that time. Including the Parks Store in Perryville, branches of the business also spread into Washington County and Mackville. During the earliest days of the store's existence, the store stocked boots, shoes, groceries and dry goods. Families from the surrounding areas would shop for supplies to last them for nearly the entire year. All would be bought in large quantity from nails by the keg to flour by the barrel. On March 18, 1918 Mr. Parks' daughter, Lora Parks, began to work for the store, but her father did not think it proper for young ladies to do public work. Despite her father's dissatisfaction with employing her, Miss Lora continued to work, and in July of 1930, following the death of her parents, she bought out the heirs and continued to own and operate the store until her own death in 1972. For over 100 years Parks Store was owned and operated by the same family."
