Marker Text: Attorney Henry Holmes (1836-1895) moved to Mason after serving in the U.S. Army and continued his public service as county attorney, justice of the peace and personal secretary to Gov. Lawrence Sullivan Ross. About 1883 he had this sandstone building constructed for his office. Holmes and Mason County native Charles Bierschwale (1862-1945), whose career was in land survey and sales, became business partners by 1888, and this structure housed their law and land office. The vernacular commercial building remained in the Bierschwale family until 1994. ​(2000)
