When the Fortner Hotel was razed in 1955 Fareway built their grocery store on the corner of E. Bremer and SW 2nd St. There was a parking lot on either side of the store. Harrison's added the east section later making the building the size it is now in 1991. Update. 2025 the corner is now a Cobblestone Inn and has been for a number years. Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No. 90N0194.
