Located in a small, unique hamlet of Taylor City consisting of two states, two counties and two towns, Ye Olde Sale Shoppe is housed in an olde country store. For over a century, it was the hub of the corner. Built in 1815 by Benjamin Taylor, it served as a post office, stage stop and general store selling yard goods, grain and staples of the day. Before the Industrial Revolution, clothing was shipped in pieces by train and stagecoach, and women of the community got together and did the sewing upstairs at the shoppe. This work was called “sales” work, thus the name of the shoppe. The finished product would then be shipped back to the city for distribution. Years have passed and many changes have taken place at Ye Olde Sale Shoppe; however, its ownership still remains in the family. The shoppe is now owned and operated for the last 36 years by William Taylor. The stage doesn’t stop here anymore, the post office has moved several times and ladies may still be sewing, but at home. Ye Olde Sale Shoppe is now one of three on the corner, the second, “Country Gas” Convenience store being owned by G. Earl Taylor and the 3rd an herb and tea shop. When you visit us, you almost see the stage, hear the sounds of yesteryear and relive the slower, simpler life of days gone before. The shoppe houses an eclectic collection of antiques, collectibles, gifts and whimsies tastefully arranged in a two stories.

The once renowned Hotel Kimball was built by William Kimball and formally opened on St. Patrick's Day in 1911. Built in what was the affluent residential neighborhood of Chestnut and Bridge Streets, the Kimball offered 309 rooms, a dining-room capacity for 450, a 22-foot-high banquet hall for 350 guests, and, in 1912, room rates from "$1.50 to $3.50 per day". In 1980, the Hotel Kimball was renovated into residential apartments and renamed Kimball Towers. In 1985, the building was again renovated and converted to a 132 residential and commercial condominium building.
