Megquier-Houck museum building marks 100 years
In the fall of 1916, Charles W. Megquier began construction on a two story brick building on Main Street. This was to be used as the new Crescent Garage & Plumbing Company. As the Ford touring car dealer and distributor of Fisk tires, Megquier had already presold touring cars in anticipation of the new site. Due to harsh weather, construction was postponed to the following spring.
