The Morgan–Copp–Mervau Building, also known as the Corner Store, is a commercial building located at 101 North Mill Street in Northport, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
History
The Morgan–Copp–Mervau Building was built in three sections.[2] The first, a single-story building fronting on Nagonaba, was constructed in 1880 as a grocery and dry goods store. The store was owned by Northport native N. C. Morgan and his wife Abbie Voice.[3] An attached two-story section was built on the rear in 1881-83; this served as the Morgans' home. The Morgans moved to Sault Ste Marie in 1887.[4] The two-story section was extended to front onto Mill Street some time before 1905; this section was used for quite some time as Mervau's drugstore. A third section, built diagonally to front onto the Nagonaba/Mill intersection, was built in 1927/28.
In 1996/97, the building was rehabilitated and restored to its original appearance.[2]
Description
The Morgan–Copp–Mervau Building consists of three sections: a single-story false-front clapboard-clad section fronting on Nagonaba, a two-story false-front clapboard-clad section fronting on Mill, and a single-story cedar stickwork addition fronting onto the Nagonaba/Mill intersection.[2] The first two sections form an ell, with the third section oriented diagonally to the first two.
