Shafer's Grocery and Residence
The Shafer's Grocery and Residence is a commercial and residential building located at 1018 Emmet Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] Shafer's Grocery and Residence comprises two interconnected buildings: the store and an adjacent residence. The store is a single-story frame commercial structure featuring a central entrance flanked by expansive glass windows. The store has a flat roof with a simple bracketed cornice. The walls of the structure are clad with asbestos shingles. The attached residence is a two-story gabled structure with a front porch running the full width of the house.[2] The structure was built for the grocery business of Robert Shafer, who operated here in the late 19th century. By the 1930s, a used furniture business operated by Jennie Cross was located here.[2] References
