Timmerman Building

 In 1905, having again outgrown his store, Mr. Timmerman built the massive two-story brick building at 419 Main, that was a major landmark for 107 years. This building also being the first brick building in the town and built with bricks from the Scott City Brick Company. Originally built for his furniture business and "The City Drug Store" it was also a local undertaking parlor. Mr. Timmerman was a busy gentleman.

The building has also been known as the "Marshall" building as it housed the Van Antwerp Marshall Department Store which became Marshall’s in the last 30s. Mr. Marshal devoted the entire store as a ladies’ department store and was recognized for its continuous operation of 45 years. 

Many other businesses and offices have called it home including dentist, law offices, food market, and a butcher shop. The building succumbed to an electrical fire in September of 2015, yet some of the original bricks and façade remain of this historic Scott City building.
