Loft tour attracts hundreds to historic downtown buildings Toby Teeter’s loft occupies the second and third floors over 613 S. Main St. In the vast living room, there is no competition for space between the seating area and the pool table that overlooks Main Street. The galley kitchen opens onto a skylight, and the third floor has three bedrooms and bathrooms.
The original Newberry’s Five and Dime at 120 W. Fifth St. now serves as the multistory residence of Bunny and Jane Newton. In addition to a huge living space featuring Oriental decor, the residence has an indoor-outdoor patio upstairs, and a large recreation and exercise space in the basement. Those on Saturday’s tour also got a bonus when Larry Black opened his upstairs apartment over the former Connor House Restaurant in the 600 block of Main Street. The space includes antique furnishings, several fireplaces, a kitchen and living area lighted by a skylight, an enclosed patio, a huge bedroom, a bathroom and a meeting room. Black said he is considering renting the space as a downtown residence. Carthage tour Downtown lofts in Carthage will be opened for tours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are available at Phelps House, and money that is raised will benefit the historic building.
