Mr. W.E. Holton purchased land (lot 46) in downtown Belleville. He commissioned anarchitect named Mr. John Forin and a mason named Mr. Woodley to construct a one-of-a-kind building for him in 1863. It was 4 stories tall, with heavy stone sides and rear walls, a large skylight, and contained over 16,000 square feet of space. At the rear of the building and on the Moira River, Mr. Holton had a 46 ft by 70 ft slate-covered stone storehouse built at a total cost of $16,500.
