History
The lot was purchased for John L. Walters in 1893. At the time, a two-story duplex building dating from the mid 19th century was present on the site. The existing building was constructed in 1898. The first level was used as a furniture store known as J.H. Montague & Company. It was then a hardware store, but became a china store known as Covington & Peyton in the 1920's. The Walters family sold the property in 1923. The building was purchased by Jefferson-Lafayette Theatres in 1927 and the new owners subdivided it into two sections. The eastern side became the Monticello Lunch counter and the western side became a Piggly-Wiggly grocery store. [1]
