The building in the back is "Jones Mercantile". It was a Western Auto dealer. It lasted until the mid-1980's when it burnt to the ground. Cause was to stated to be a faulty furnace. At the time of the fire there was even a Radio Shack dealer tucked into the back.

The clock tower always showed the same time, making it accurate exactly twice a day.

In the space of a few years Chama lost Kelly's Café/Bar and Jones Mercantile.
