101 S. Live Oak

Occupant: Underwood Antique Mall

The initials of several generations of Mason citizens are carved in the soft sandstone north wall of this handsome building with its Mesker Brothers cast-iron front and vast expanses of glass similar to the Schmidt Building. This site has housed a grocery store almost from the earliest times. Perhaps this is where the term "corner grocery" originated. When the grocery business in Mason got a little overloaded, the Underwoods changed gears and installed an antique mall with a wide variety of antiques and collectibles. They have a little something for everyone including glassware, Mason County Topaz, jewelry, furniture... you name it!
