THE CASSADAY BUILDING BLOCK
Nathan Cassaday bought a lot and a wooden structure standing on it (click on 'see more photos' for picture) in 1875. The structure had been hastily erected after the Civil War and belonged to W. H. Phelps who used it as his law office. Mr. Phelps sold the building to Dr.Carter who used it as rental property, but Dr. Carter only kept it for a year before selling it again.
In October of 1886 a fire started in the kitchen of the Lyon Restaurant on the south side of the Square. By the end of the evening four buildings were destroyed, including a saloon, Jones Grocery and Garland Bros. Queensware.
Nathan Cassaday owned three of the buildings that were lost.
By December of 1886 a full force of hands and teams were excavating for the new Cassaday block. In February of 1887, while blasting the hole for the basement, a 20 pound rock was tossed skyward and fell through the roof and ceiling of Weber's Confectionery next door. The rock fell with such force that the entire floor shook. Fortunately no one was injured by the accident, but several rocks fell during the blasting and frightening a horse attached to a milk wagon into leaving town without his driver.
By March of 1887 plans had been made public for the Cassaday block, as drawn by E. A. Bissell, a local architect. The three-story front of the building was to be made entirely of iron and glass with no brick apparent.
The PRESS was quoted as saying "The front of the Cassaday building will be the finest store front in the city, the front of the 2nd and 3rd stories being made entirely of galvanized sheet iron. It is to be made and put up by the enterprising firm of Wolcott and Goulding, who are doing some very nice work in that line."
The front of the Cassaday block also featured heavy iron columns that were cast by the Carthage Foundry and Machine Shop.
In June of 1887 the firm of McElroy and Robertson, a dry goods store, rented half of the ground floor and in September Powell and Company drugs opened in the other half of the ground floor.
The Mantenlee Sanitarium occupied the third story of the building from the late 1890's until the early 1900's. The building was home to Western Auto from the 1940's until a devastating fire claimed the center of the south side of the Square in November 1972.
The 1880 US Census enumerated on the 9th day of June reports Nathan is now age 38 and his wife Isabelle is 37. They are living on South Grant Street in Carthage, Jasper county, Missouri. He is employed as a tanner. Their two daughters Cora age 19 and Ida age 14 reside in the household with them.
