This building at 19 S. National Ave., will soon be the home of the Bids and Dibs' physical store created by the administrators of the popular online auction website. The building is being restored by local residents Kent and Amy Boyd. The construction process has been delayed recently due to the extreme heat. The building is the August winner of the Curb Appeal award. Curb Appeal is a cooperative effort between the city codes department and the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce to recognize citizens who make significant improvements to their properties.
