The oldest part of the building that now houses Calumet Mercantile was built sometime before 1884. In 1888, it was occupied by a hardware store with a tin shop and stable behind it. Over the years, this busy lot on the 100 block of 5th street has been home to many other businesses, such as: a barber, a fruit store, a broker’s office, a cigar and stationery shop, a camera shop, and a sporting goods store.
Changes were made to the building over time, including removing its gable roof and second story. In the 1980s the building was occupied by an antique store. In 1993 it was purchased by Mike and Donna Bausano, renovated, and turned into Calumet Mercantile, which opened in 1994.
