This is a place you won't want to miss as they currently sell gift items and collectibles. It hasn't always been that way. In 1906 this two-story building was known as the Hooper Drug Store. Residents of the community remember riding their bicycles up to an outside window to order ice cream. In the early days this was a hopping place.
Many people reminisce about climbing up the stairs to a dance hall.
Mr. Rose built a two-story brick building in 1911. He owned and operated a hardware store on the ground level. The upstairs had several interesting businesses including a pool hall, photograph studio and dental offices. Watonga's first dentist wasa woman that had her office upstairs. The Rose Building remained a hardware store until 1984.
