Building 324
Welcome to Building 324 located at 324 E. Dewey Street / 325 E. Front Street in Buchanan, Michigan.
This structure has housed many different businesses/organizations over its rich history within the community. The building itself has transcended through the majority of Buchanan’s modern-day history. Originally, the building was built by Clark Equipment Company in 1916. Clark continued to own and operate the building up to the early 1990’s. Many Clark employees referred to this location simply as “Building No. 2”. In the early/mid 1990’s Carbon Waffle Company acquired the building and adapted it for waffle iron and mix production. When Don Carbon sold the company in 1998 the business was moved to South Bend. Building ownership was then transferred to the City of Buchanan until Kevin Barker purchased the building in 2003. K. Barker Enterprises along with many Buchanan based businesses/organizations continued to operate out of the building until the spring of 2021 when Jessica & Randy Hendrixson purchased the building. Currently, many of those businesses are still here along with plans to add several more businesses within the building.

A NEW START
Originally, "Building 2" built by the orders of E.B Clark served as the main gem for the Celfor Tool company who then became Clark Equipment in 1916. This large construction project taken on during a time when there was uncertainty of all aspects. With World War I still in full force, the world was in a very delicate state. It was such a big deal that the plant hosted a party in the building with over 4,000 people. This was reported on as far as Detroit in the Detroit Free Press
Now, more than 105 years later, the building is getting a new start from a familiar beginning. 10,000 sq/ft of the building is in the process of being built out as an event venue.
