Joshua Mitchell Building
This building was constructed in 1836 by Joshua Mitchell. It was one of the first brick commercial store houses in Hannibal. Located on 2nd Street, now called Main St., the hub of commercial activity. It was purchased in 1844 by Zachariah Draper, leading citizen and friend of John M. Clemens. Most likely it served as one of the first land offices & bookstores in town.
Marker is on N. Main Street just south of Hill Street, on the left when traveling south.
