History

Locke's Meat Market is a two-story brick building with a five-bayed oriel window over the entrance. The ground floor functioned as a meat market and the second floor provided living space. [3]

Oriel window type of bay window

An oriel window is a form of bay window which protrudes from the main wall of a building but does not reach to the ground. Supported by corbels, brackets, or similar, an oriel window is most commonly found projecting from an upper floor but is also sometimes used on the ground floor.

Luther Locke, son of Dean Jewett Locke who was one of the founders of Lockeford, ran the meat market. [3] His wife, Alice, opened a dressmaking shop in the downstairs space as well, while the family lived upstairs. [2]

Dean Jewett Locke (1823–1887) was the founder of the pioneer town, Lockeford, California. As a student of the Harvard Medical School, he was a trained physician, but he contributed to the small community in many more professions. The house he lived in is now a historical landmark in California.

In 1939, the building was sold and the first floor space was repurposed as a barbership. [4]
