James F. Hubbard built this office in 1860. County records from the courthouse were stored here when when the courthouse burned in the  1862 fire. The Hubbard & Fry Law Office helped save the county records during the 1862 fire. From the August 29 issue of Tom Springer's Ledger: "Within 20 minutes all on court house hill was wrapped in flames....the devouring flames swept like a whirlwind in every direction, and in less than three hours the whole town was either flames or ashes....All of the most valuable books, papers, etc. in the different county offices were saved by being carried into Hubbard and Fry's fire proof law office.

The brick building was built in 1860 by James F. Hubbard, not James F. Farley as the plaque on the wall states. It is located at 103 Court Street.
