A photo from 1910 shows William Conklin and Fred Masters outside their store. The first store in Galt was built by John McFarland on the corner of 4th and B Streets. When John Brewster began building his store, he moved that building south and built the Brewster Building on the same site (out of the photo on the left). In 1908, Conklin and Masters removed that building and built this one. Fred Masters left Galt in 1911. William Conklin continued to operate a jewelry shop out of the building. In 1923, he replaced it with a building you see today on the same site. William Conklin died in 1933.
