History
This structure has always served as the Farm and Home Service Inc. building (part of Southern States Cooperative Agency.). The structure was built in 1974 after a restructuring of leadership within Farm and Home Services. In the 1940s, Farm and Home Services Inc. held products in buildings near the railway station for transport. The warehouse facility at 729 Oklahoma Avenue was another part of the complex.

The first two storage buildings are modern, but the furthest right brick structure has been in place since the 1800s, serving originally as the Zimmerman and Shultz store (this end building is outside of the Sykesville Historic District).
