100. Fisher and Hamilton Store Building. 5210 Willing Street. 1877. Masonry Vernacular. This building has been used for many purposes of the years. It originally served as general merchandise store. By 1903, the building had become a pool hall and saloon. The saloon closed in 1907 due to Santa Rosa County prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcohol. The building was then subsequently used a hardware store that became known as the Fisher and Hamilton Hardware.
