The northwest corner of 2nd street and Madison Street has been vacant since 2001, but was known as Kuhn's corner for over a century. Thomas Martin was an early owner of the lot and had a dry good store there. A later owner was named Kuhn, thus the name. The name stuck with the corner as it became home to a dry good store, a cabinet shop, a drug store, a grocery, and a garage. Later it would be home to the WKSR radio station. In 2001, a c. 1890 brick building located on this lot collapsed and it has been vacant ever since.
