Toombs Garage

Toombs Garage, commonly known as the Frontier Market, at 1663 Lake Avenue, was originally built in the mid-1890's. It was operated as the Pioneer Market from 1897 to 1900. In the early 1900's, it was remodeled into Bradish's Meat Market. It was rebuilt during the 1920's to accommodate Toombs Garage. Remodeling during the 1940's converted the building back into a market. The building has apartments upstairs and office space on the street level. The Wells Progress, our town's third newspaper, had its office here until 1986.
