Is this the building which later became Halilton Hardware?

This does look like the Hamilton Hardware store. The upper floor, or at least a art of it, was the Masonic Lodge during my time in Piggott.

After John Hamilton sold his hardware store and he and his wife moved away best I recall Orvile Fitzgerald and later the Roeder family operated businesses in it. At 76 my memory is not the best.
