This unique building was constructed after the last great fire by E.E. Warne. Their was a general store on the first floor, and family living quarters on the second floor. In 1908 Milton Sain purchased the property and operated the business for twenty years.

The Knights of Pythius held lodge meetings upstairs for several years. After standing empty for 40 years, the building became an antique store in 1973. Restoration was completed in 1992.

Currently owned by Tony and Terry Dykes. The Sherlocks building has been re-named as the Rose Cottage. The Rose Cottage is an antique store and bed and breakfast. They carry antiques, gifts and many collectables.
