1904 General Store
The 1904 General Store building's rustic woodwork, hand-carved in Germany's Black Forest, was part of the German exhibit at the St. Louis 1904 World's Fair. In 1905 the building was purchased and moved to Alton to become a photography studio. It then became the Alton School of Dance, and finally serves today as an old fashioned Candy Store and Gift Shop. Find sweet treats, local crafts, and hand-scooped ice-cream on your next walk down Broadway!
