research by Donovan & Associates

From the "Down Memory Lane" section of the East Washingtonian in July, 1977, looking back to 1947:

The small brick structure behind McKeirnan Hardware and Implement Company was razed this week to make way for a heavy machinery loading dock. The building, until recently used as a shop by Lloyd Trosper, was an old landmark, built shortly after the Big Fire, at the turn of the century.
