Location, location, location! Ever dreamed of owning a beautiful waterfront property on Main Street with a live/work opportunity? Here is your chance - now offered for the first time in many years, this quintessential building has a storied history. Built at the turn of the century in 1907, this was the village blacksmith shop and livery stable. At that time there were small footpaths to the harbor and shore. Mr. Turner, the blacksmith was a wheelwright and a farrier servicing all 60 horses in the village. The blacksmith shop ran for 25 years. The next 30 years the building was used as a store, gas station, and then a gospel church. Evelyn Kok purchased the building in 1968 from the church and ran it as ''The Gallery of the Purple Fish'' for 45 years never offering her paintings for sale. Since 2013, Evelyn's niece Christina has sold Evelyn's paintings and artwork.
