Evander P. Walker Store, Main Street, Alexandria, Huntingdon County, PA
Summary
Significance: This is the only gable-front, three-bay commercial building in Alexandria that dates from the mid-19th century, although it was constructed after the canal-boom period and north of Hartlog Street. It is also one of the few buildings that retains its commercial character, despite having been partially converted into a dwelling. It remained in the Walker family for 100 years.
