Barbee-Berry Mercantile Building (Historic Site #5a)

The site of the old Salado First State Bank was built from rock taken from the Vickrey-Berry home on Main Street. After the bank closed the building sat abandoned. In 1962, former New York model, Grace Rosanky Jones, purchased the old bank building and began renovation for what later became a celebrated upscale dress shop named Grace Jones. It offered the finest in fashion from New York, Paris, and Milan, attracting customers from throughout the United States. It is currently home to a retail shop. (SHSL)
