Lion's Club Building - 1863 - Center & Canal Streets: Located in the heart of the village, this structure was built in 1863. Originally, there was a log building here around 1830, however it burned down in the mid-1800's. This was the site of the first post office with Carroll founder, William Tong, as first Postmaster. This building was situated near the junction of the Ohio-Erie and Lancaster Lateral Canals and overlooked the Canal Street Hoist Bridge or "Turn Bridge" (toll) for the canal. Over the years, it housed a variety of businesses such as The Saylor-Ebright Dry Goods Store (first business), Blackstone Dry Goods Store, grocery store, tailor shop, hardware store, ice cream parlor and more. The Weaver Family were owners from 1937-1980 and operated a grocery store here while residing upstairs, thus locals referred to it as 'The Weaver Building' for many years.
The Carroll Lions Club purchased the property in 1990 and hold their club meetings here (downstairs, left). They lease the rest of the building (downstairs, right) for retail, in addition to three apartments upstairs. The Carroll Lions are excellent stewards of this property (e.g., note the new metal roof). The Carroll Lions Club was chartered in 1946; The Bloom-Carroll Lions Club (women's group) also meets here and was chartered in 1992. (information T. Drobina/CAHS Tour Booklet).

Azbell Hall / Hotel - 1832 - E. Canal Street: This structure was once a social hall and hotel and was once also the only tavern in town. It housed numerous businesses over the course of its history, such as a dry goods and hat store (upper level), a restaurant, and a tavern. In the 1960's, it was nicknamed "The Titanic" by locals due constant basement flooding. Currently, the building contains four apartments.
First Baptist Church - 1909 - Park Street: This lovely, historical church was built in 1909. Originally, the name of this church was the First United Brethren Church. It is believed that the United Brethren was the first established denomination within the United States.
Carroll Hardware Company - 1900 - 75 E. Canal Street: This building was erected just after the end and removal of the Ohio-Erie Canal system, which ran through a portion of this property. Briefly as a bar in its earliest days, this location soon became Carroll Hardware Company, which remained an important business serving downtown Carroll for several decades. The hardware was run by various owners, notably the Ridgeway and Kull families. The upstairs served as a Grange meeting hall. Stories include the existence of a dumb waiter at the rear of the hardware. During prohibition, local guys would meet and enjoy playing cards upstairs, while the ladies brought food and sent it up via the dumb waiter. Stores were open late into the evening and referred to as 'old hitching post stores' (in the early photo of East Canal Street, the hitching posts, and horse and buggy shown).
The building was purchased in auction by the Mike and Cathy Stock who utilized the downstairs as an antique shop and warehouse. They converted the upstairs into an apartment dwelling. The Stocks owned the building for over 30 years, adding vinyl siding and other major improvements.
In November of 2021, the building was purchased by June and Don Queen. Renovations are currently underway to turn the downstairs into Carroll's first coffee house, Carroll Cup. The coffee house is expected to open in late 2022.

People's Store - 63 West Canal Street: Built an an unknown date (county auditor records date back to pre-1900), this two-story, combination home (upstairs) and hardware turned grocery store was a beloved part of downtown Carroll for many decades. This was your classic. family owned and operated home town store that carried just about everything.
In later years, a subsequent owner offered delicious sub sandwiches, pizzas, and customized party trays. This was the place to pick up a gallon of milk, bread, deli items, snacks, and also rent a movie for the family. Carroll area residents share fond memories of more recent owners Mo and Mabel McClure, then (final owner) Jeff McKinney. Sadly, at the beginning of its last decade of existence, the roof became significantly compromised rendering the overall structure beyond repair. Just a couple of months prior to scheduled tear down, the store could not hang on any longer, and a sagging foundation corner gave way, causing the building to bump and rest upon on the house next door. An emergency demolition took place on April 2nd, 2019. A green space lot is now all that remains to remind us of this beloved village store once existed.
