Mattern's Store in Beavertown

This is the front of the store located at 117-119 East Market Street. Built in 1874 by Ammon H. Bowersox, it was then the largest store in Snyder County. Over the years it changed hands many times, but remained a general store carrying about anything its customers ever needed. It then became, among other things, a slot car racing facility, a drugstore, a video tape rental facility, a flower shop and as of today a day care center.
