THIS BUILDING WAS A LUMBER YARD ON EAST PLAT STREET IN MAQUKETA FOR MANY YEARS. A FEW YEARS AGO, PAUL HAHLE BOUGHT IT AND DID EXTENSIVE
REMODELING TO THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE. IT IS NOW A FINE LOOKING BUILDING AND FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, HE HAS USED IT FOR HIS FLOOR COVERING
BUSINESS. NOW, IT ALSO INCLUDES A LARGE GIFT AND HOME DECOR SHOP, OPERATED BY THE GALS THAT WORKED AT THE (NOW BURNED-OUT) HALLMARK STORE IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA. A REALLY NEAT GIFT SHOP....3 OR 4 ROOMS IN FACT. "THE OLD LUMBER YARD"....THE NAME TODAY....IS HAVING A GRAND OPENING OF THE GIFT DEPARTMENT AND ANNIVERARY CELEBRATION OF THE CARPET DEPARTMENT, TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SPECIALS...WINE TASTING...
