Laclede Relics Season 2 Episode 1: The Owen Building
Laclede Relics is back with Season 2, and there's a lot to catch up on! Since our last episode, we've moved into the second floor of the historic Owen Building, owned by Ozark Fiber, located at 119 West Commercial in downtown Lebanon, Missouri. Join host and historian Eric Tudor as he takes you through the fascinating history of our new home—from its original construction by influential businessman W.H. Owen Sr. in 1880, through a devastating fire in 1922, and its rebirth as the Saint Louis Store. Over the decades, this iconic site has hosted everything from doctor's offices to dress shops, flea markets, and even an ax-throwing business! Now, in partnership with Ozark Fiber, it has transformed into Ozark Fiber Studios, the new home of Lebanon Now and Laclede Relics. Dive into the rich history of Lebanon with us in this exciting first episode of Season 2!
