In 1870, a fire hall was constructed on this site for the village of Red Jacket. In 1886, the village hall was built on the corner of 6th and Elm, which included a fire hall. The fire department also continued to use the building here until sometime around 1890. The village rented the building to commercial tenants including a sewing machine shop, a tailor, and a laundry. The existing building was constructed sometime around 1910 and has remained a hardware store since that time. The store first belonged to the Keckonen family, and then was taken over by the Baudino family. The one-story addition to this building occupies the site of the Corgan Block was a narrow three-story brick building erected by businesswoman Mollie Corgan in 1900. Prior to its demolition in the 1940s, it was occupied by a hotel, a movie theater, and Cubs Billiards and Bowling Alleys.
