13. The Jennie Legg Dry Goods Store

THE JENNIE LEGG DRY GOODS STORE


In 1809 John Denny purchased from J. Stevens the lot on which this structure and the adjacent Cray House sit. It is believed that he constructed this building shortly after Cray House, which would make this the second oldest building in Stevensville. The building was sold to Hugh A. Legg in the late 1800’s who enlarged the front with lumber salvaged from the old Kent Point School House that had been closed. Lil Cook ran a confectionery store here in the 1930s. The large front windows were added later.
