Originally the Oliver-McDonald store, this building came into existence around 1901. A two-story section was later added to house a furniture store and a funeral home managed by Ross Dean. In 1934, two of the buildings were sold to Alton Carter for his established Plains Mercantile Company and Plains Mercantile Bank. The hand drawn elevator was installed for the moving of furniture and caskets to the upstairs area. In 1971 the building housed Hugh Carter’s Antiques. The building came into its present use in 2002, when it became the Plains Inn and Antique Mall.
The Inn is located upstairs where the funeral home used to be, and the Antique store is below. There are seven rooms at the Inn, each one decorated for a different decade from the time Jimmy Carter was born in the 1920's until he left the White House in the 1980's.
Guests staying at the inn have reported hearing footsteps and disembodied voices in the hallway, phantom bells ringing, catching images of shadow figures in pictures, doors opening, seeing figures out of the corner of their eyes, tv's mysteriously turning themselves on, and cabinets being opened when they walk into rooms.
