603 E South St, Mount Vernon, MO 65712

This 19th century beauty just had a facelift including new roof, siding, guttering and fence repairs so you can start with a clean slate for exterior maintenance. Inside it has a lot of space and great storage. Located just blocks from the historic courthouse square, it will be sure to grab the hearts of all who treasure the past. It was home to Grace and Ivan Smith in the 1930's. They had a business called ''The Smith Confectionery'' on the square at that time. People came from far and wide to see their custom made 16-foot soda fountain where they sold Cokes for 5-cents and milk shakes for 15-cents. In the 1940s, Ivan operated an organic vegetable garden and show garden in the back yard of this home. Start your chapter of memories here now.
