This is the beautiful old Benua home that was tore down to make room for gas stations:( use to sit where Swiffty last operated, the now defunct FastMax station.)
The Benua family owned a clothing store located where T’s Antiques is today. It was later owned by Cliff Baird.
Truly a shame Salem didn’t do a better job at preserving our historic architecture, noted Washington County Historian Jeremy Elliott.
