Green Mercantile Store
Jefferson County
John W. Green, Sr. arrived in Buffalo Creek in the 1880’s and operated a hotel and general merchandise store until they were destroyed by fire in 1897. In 1898, he constructed a new two-story building with walls of native granite cut into 18" squares.

The building has a flat roof and first floor windows that are set in round arches. The local post office operated in the building, and the second floor often served as a community meeting hall.
