History of Moore

Dreessen Hardware Stores

Henry P. Dreesesen was an early settler in Moore who ran a hardware store.  

The first picture shows Dreessen's first store, which appears to have taken over the original Bank of Moore building and added space onto the side, sometime after 1905 (pictures from 1905 and earlier all show it as a bank building without the addition).

The second picture shows Dreessen's second store, presumably built sometime after the fire of 1910 that burned much of Moore's business district (and presumably Dreessen's first store). 

The third picture shows the interior of Dreessen's second store.
