Isaac Walton established
his jewelry business on this site in 1859. In 1860, his
wife, Abby, became the first milliner in Tyrone,
working in their second-floor apartment. Frank Acklin
became Isaac’s partner in 1887. Upon the death of
Isaac in 1904, Frank Acklin became sole
owner.
In 1964, The Wing Shop
purchased and remodeled the building and moved their
ladies’ fashion and accessories business here.
Noteworthy were the attractive window
displays.
Following the closing of the
Wing Shop, Columbia Ancillary Services became
occupants. It is now a vacant store front. Look for the
painted-over “Acklin” name below the
right-hand display window.
