The City of Goshen in Elkhart County has several historic buildings, some of which have been beautifully preserved or restored. Shown in the photo is a building in the 100 block of North Main Street in the downtown area. It presently serves as a law office. According to information provided by the Goshen Historical Museum, it dates to about 1889 and was originally a grocery store. Since then it has been used for multiple purposes. For some of those years it was again a grocery store under different ownership and also served as a photography studio, boots and shoes dealer, restaurant and saloon, meat market and again was used by different attorneys. The building sits next to an alley. Alleys still serve a purpose today as they did in the past. I have posted several times information about historic buildings in downtown Goshen and will continue to do so.
