Barnes General Store
8240 Hwy. 266, Springfield, MO
Phone:
John M. Barnes built this store in 1934 as J.M. Barnes & Son General
Merchandise. The store also sold feed and later he added a Sinclair gas
station and garage. 
The large furniture and appliance store were added later/
In
the mid-1950s a hardware store was built across the street about the
same time as the Phillips 66 gas station. Judging by the number of entrance
doors the building appears to have been remodeled at some point.
This former Phillips 66 gas station was built in 1956 across the street
from the Barnes General Store. Many Phillips stations of the time had
a large canopy over the pumps, if this one did, it's been obviously
removed.
