This little building dates back to 1910 or so and when Route 66 came along it was the first market early travelers on the Mother Road came to when they entered Edwardsville. Until 1927 it was operated by The Coroniotis family and then until about 1970 the Halley family. Then it became home to Hazel's Re-Sell Shop for all kinds of household items. It housed the Springer's Creek Winery, now gone, in this 2017 photo. The building had been painted white by 2023.

It is located on Route 66 (Hwy. 157) & Chapman St., on the northeast side of Edwardsville.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
