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]

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]

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