Significance: Craigs Store, a former country store, has been converted into a well-maintained, single-family residence. Craigs Store is a six-bay wood frame house. Rectangular in its massing, it measures approximately 44' x 26'. It was constructed during three periods. Each period contributed two-stories and accounts for approximately one-third of the current footprint. The earliest, Period One, contains the three-bay central block punctuated by a window, door, window series. The next building phase, Period Two, was an addition along the south wall that doubled the building's footprint and added two bays, a window and a door. The final, most modern building phase is represented by Period Three construction along the north wall of the central block that added a window to the front elevation.
