The store closed immediately after being eighty-five years in downtown Osceola. An era had ended. It remains today much as it was in 1904. The interior of the 1904 building is a historical jewel. The coutners and shelves are a rich walnut color.
Fixed stools are along the counters for the customers convenience in looking at merchandise.
A single wooden canopy covers the entrance and sidewalks to both buildings. The benched and hitching posts were removed, but were replaced by Main Street Osceola a few years ago. There are little ventilation holes around the top of all the windows. Behind the building there is a 25 ft. by 50 ft. grass-covered area with a recently constructed security fence along the south property line. The Patterson buildings have stood for 91 and 89 years directly across historic Hale Avenue from the copper domed Mississippi County Courthouse, which was constructed eight years after the 1904 building.
