Cooper Building

  • Built in 1875 by Charles J. Cooper, Calhoun County’s first wholesale grocer.
  • The unique construction of the building saved the town from burning to the ground multiple times in the 1880s and 1890s.
  • Served as a mercantile store, hardware store, general store, dry good store, and furniture store.
  • In the 1950s and early 1960s, the building served as the Oxford News Stand.
  • In the 60s, it was Stinson’s Rug House, and later became The Tackle Box and Stinson’s Fishing Tackle.
  • In 2015, it underwent extensive restoration by lawyers Adam Maniscalco and Alyssa Enzor Baxley.
  • The building now houses Baxley Maniscalco Attorneys at law and The Main Olive.
