Hastings Landmarks Leave Town
Older Hastings residents recall two historic buildings removed from the business district after fire marshal condemnation. The former schoolhouse built in the 1870s and the old meat market once housed Keffer’s Hardware were sold or torn down as memories of the town’s early days fade. The schoolhouse site later hosted a brick school and other enterprises, while the meat market site passed through several owners and uses before demolition.
