Locke's Meat Market, also known as Luther Locke Butcher Shop[2] and the Locke Building, is a vacant commercial building in Lockeford, California. Built in 1883, Locke's Meat Market was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[3]

History[edit]

Locke's Meat Market is a two-story brick building with a five-bayed oriel window over the entrance. The ground floor functioned as a meat market and the second floor provided living space.[3]

Luther Locke, son of Dean Jewett Locke who was one of the founders of Lockeford, ran the meat market.[3] His wife, Alice, opened a dressmaking shop in the downstairs space as well, while the family lived upstairs.[2]

In 1939, the building was sold and the first floor space was repurposed as a barbershop.[4]
