History of 106 E. Pine St.

STRAFFORD, MO - Located in downtown Strafford, MO, along the historic Route 66, the building dates back to 1906. With rich history within the community, the building served as The First Bank of Strafford and then more recently, The Family Pharmacy. If the building could speak, it would tell of serving the community generation after generation. As people went about their daily business, you could hear the kids outside laughing, customers next door exchanging goods at McDowell or, the local high school band practice marching on a hot afternoon. 

Pine & Picks Place

Today, the building located at 106 E Pine St, serves as Pine & Picks Place, a 4400 sq foot event center accommodating bridal and wedding showers, weddings, corporate events and more. This newly restored, bright and airy, open floor building with a modern warehouse feel, now serves the community in a different capacity than it once did. Walking in to the right you can see part of the original concrete wall with burns from the fire. As the building was restored, the owners salvaged remnants from the historic building as can be seen looking up towards the second floor balcony with the original wall slates and ceiling tiles. 

“My husband and I are blessed to have the opportunity to restore this building and bring life back into downtown Strafford. We pray Pine & Picks Place will bless the hearts of the community as it has blessed my family." - Michelle Eden, Owner Pine & Picks Place
