About This Property

One of oldest buildings in Paris, constructed between 1892 and 1897. The initial First Methodist Church in Paris was located on Block 23, at this site. The congregation constructed another facility on North Wall in 1888, and by 1892 the one on Block 23 was gone. J.J. Richardson used most of its wood to construct a house on West Cherry and Third Northwest. By 1902 a building was at the site, labeled 34 South Nineteenth (Short) Street. It was occupied by a print shop owned by Jesse G. Marshall and Sayers Boyd, proprietors of the Paris News and Paris Weekly News. It has had many addresses: 210 South Short; 100, 108, 110 South 19th; 34 South 19th; 124 Second Southwest.

W.W. Boothe was there in 1921, and the business was tin making.

By 1959 the address was 124 Second Southwest, and Al Dunning had his metal and glass business there. John Reddell purchased it and still operates at the site.
