There was a Christian Church next to the school house. The building was used until 1920 when services were stopped because it was in such a bad condition. There were two stores. The first one was north of the school house. In 1924, L. D. Darnell built a store at the intersection of Singletree Road and Ambrose Road. The store also had a gas station, which closed in 1947.
