401 S Plymouth St  

Hawkins Addition Lot #7 Names associated in the early 1900's with the property are - Bureus E & Dora McGuire

Was probably some type of business or auxilary railroad depot at one time.

The 1908 plat map shows this area basically undeveloped. Mill street is simply marked as "road"; and the north portion of S. Plymouth Street did not exist

A possible clue:

1912 - WIll Locat Station Here - The Standard Oil company is negotiating for a lot int the Ezra Hawkins addition on which to establish a station. A tank and an office will be erected. The business at Culver has grown to such proportions that the local trade can no longer be properly served by the wahons from Plymouth, particularyly during the summer when the town is full of automobiles.

The area in 1922 by plat map - Lot # 7 Hawkins Addition.

Hawkins Additon by the 1924 Sanborn Fire map. The Standard Oil Bulk plant we do know was located at the old grist mill location between Mill, S, Plymouth and Hawkins cour

401 S. Plymouth Street - As evidence by the 1937 Sanborn map the building was yet to be built as Lot #7 is still recorded as being vacant

1960's-1980's - Sat empty

This is just a rough example of what the building looked like

I remember there was two pillars of possibly of either rock or cement block in front that were were square a portico [porch leading to the entrance of a building, or extended as a colonnade, with a roof structure over a walkway, supported by columns]; and there were only three steps from the ground into the building. It also had a low hedge of no higher than 2 feet that ran all the way around the edge of the property lines. It had large windows in the front and was a stucco (with black, grey and white speck in it) type finish on the outside walls.

c. 1981- Raymond & Charlene Arthurhultz

1980's - about 1981 Charlene (Garn) & "Ray" Raymond Arthurhultz and her husband bought it and remolded it and made it into a home.

The Arthurhultz's bought it off Charlie Weaver or the estate.

June (Garn) Napier Sirus rememebers that it was one large room when the Arthurhultz's bought it

There was two pillars of either cement block or stone in front that were square this held up a canopy; and there were only three steps from the ground into the building. It had large windows in the front on each side of the door and was a stucco (with black, grey and white speck in it) type finish on the outside.

It had a hedge that ran all the way around the edge of the property line 1-3 feet high depending upon its growth and if it was kept trimed up . Just when this building was last occupied is not known or if it had a name is unknown or its purpose

But it sat empty in 1964 as I remember and probably before that for an unknownw length of time

It sat empty that I know of from 1972 until in the late 1970's when Charlene (Garn) & "Ray" Raymond Arthurhultz and her husband bought it and remolded it and made it into a home.

The Arthurhultz's bought it off Charlie Weaver owned and bought it off him or the estate.

The only thing I think that was torn down was the canopy and pillars; and the edge taken out. The remainder of the existing building was used and expanded into the home that exists there today.

The Canopy and entrance door faced Mill Street.
