This heritage home (circa 1909) built by the Reverend Isaac Newton Thorne later became The Hetherington Bros Mercantile Store. Dr. Judson Egbert Hetherington and Thomas Palmerston "Pal" Hetherington operated the store in the upper part of the property later to be moved to this present location in 1921.
"After the death of their father, Thomas Thorne Hetherington, in early September, 1913, Judson felt his brother, Thomas, had been exiled long enough out west from the family and began working on a plan to bring Thomas back. In the spring of 1914, Thomas liquidated his assets out west and came back to Codys to start the "Hetherington Bros."

Cedric Connell (1923-2011) owned and operated Connell's Store from this location with his first wife Mary L. Somerville Connell (1927-1977). He delivered mail for many years. Their principal residence was above the store. Through the years this house has changed many hands. This historic home was owned by Ms. Heather McAlpine who operated Crafted Images Pottery from the premises. Crafted Images Pottery featured a line of functional hand-thrown porcelain, intricately textured in hues of blue and green for the kitchen, dining room and home décor.
