Pierce City, Missouri

ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES

This historic building still stands at the corner of Walnut and Commercial Street in downtown Pierce City even after the May 2003 tornado and subsequent demolition of most of the business district.

A photo studio opened in this building in 2006.
