A small wooden church building was the first building on this site - built by the village's Methodists in 1843.  The First Methodist Church tore down the building 25 years later and built a large brick church.

In 1890, two houses were replaced by the Morton House Livery, a two-story brick stable.  All of these structures wer razed in order to build the Keeler Building.

It was completed in 1914 by Issac and Minor Keeler and was a furniture exhibition building.  The Keeler's were founders of Keeler Brass Company
