This is the original W. M. Burkitt and Son General Store. Using lumber from the Scofield Brothers saw mill near Crow Butte, it was built in 1887 by E.E. Weston. The two-story, gray building had a false front -- typical of the era. I believe the store was located at the corner of Missouri and Division streets, just across the street east of the current Whitney Post Office, but we'd be pleased to hear from folks who have other information on its location and year of demise.
