Champlin started his business in 1858 in a building on nearby Spring Street behind the present property. His name does not show up on maps at that site until 1876, and only by 1912 does the current, one-story brick building appear on any map of the village.[2]
The entranceway was expanded and a larger door installed at some point before then.[2] It is used today as a garage.
