Built and operated by Jesse Hoover, the Blacksmith Shop was sold by Jesse to G.M.D. Hill in 1878. It was moved from its original location in 1888 and converted into a veterinary barn. Whether it was later moved again or demolished, the shop originally owned by Jesse Hoover had faded into obscurity by 1895.
