Raulerson Department Store
In 1905, Lewis Raulerson, the oldest son of Okeechobee's fiunder Peter Raulerson, opened a general store
near the banks of Taylor Creek.
When the FEC Railroad came to town in 1915, they provided a parcel of land if a suitable building was
erected. The first store was built of metal in imitation of ston- blocks and painted.
During the 1928 Labor Day Hurricane which caused so mush local destruction, the store served as a shelter
for many residents.
Hiriam Raulerson, Lewis' son, became the sole owner in 1140 and soon after expanded the store into the
Darrow Building, next door and became a modern depart ent store. This business continued in operation
for 75 years, closing in 1978.
