The local brick construction of the Hough Block is highlighted by native sandstone trim and a cast iron storefront from T. R. Pullis and Sons, St. Louis. The store has been in continuous use since it opened, selling everything from hardware to liquor, with offices upstairs. The subterranean Hole-in-the-Wall Saloon contains wildlife dioramas, ranging from a lurking raccoon to a howling coyote.
