Village Hobby Shop
The Village Hobby Shop is a historic building in the village of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, United States. Built on Main Street (now State Route 29) in the late 19th century, it is one of the village's oldest extant commercial buildings, and it has been named a historic site.
==History==
Mechanicsburg was settled in 1814,〔''The History of Champaign County, Ohio''. Chicago: Beers, 1881, 596.〕 but it initially grew slowly; the 1830 census found just 99 people in the village.〔Ware, Joseph. ''History of Mechanicsburg, Ohio''. Columbus: Heer, 1917.〕 Businesses were well established on Main Street downtown by 1840,〔 but little survives of that period's commercial district,〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 124.〕 as multiple great fires afflicted the community. While some of these fires harmed the village by destroying important businesses, including a major factory on South Main, others ultimately benefited the community by destroying ramshackle buildings and forcing the construction of better structures.〔 Following the Civil War, Mechanicsburg entered into a boom period, and the Village Hobby Shop was one of numerous commercial buildings erected during the period.〔 Mechanicsburg had always served as the commercial center for farmers in the nearby countryside, but the boom of the late nineteenth century saw its commerce expand substantially; by 1890, one could buy drugs and jewelry downtown, as well as groceries and dry goods.〔Recchie, Nancy. ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Mechanicsburg Multiple Resource Area''. National Park Service, December 1984.〕 The Hobby Shop building was typical of the period; built in 1880, it was home to Trader's Bank and to Schetter's Jewelry Store at different times.〔 Starting in 1901 and continuing into the 1910s, the building was home to John Brinnon's Meat Market.〔 By 2010, the building had become home to a beauty parlor.〔Photograph in infobox.〕
