A Little History The beautiful building occupied by TarPackers Restaurant is one of the oldest commercial properties in St.Pauls. It was constructed around 1911 for the Bank of St. Pauls. While the first floor was used for the bank, the second floor contained several offices for local doctors, Carolina Telephone, beauty parlors and insurance businesses. The third floor was used by the Masonic Lodge. When the bank closed, the building was used for the Post Office and in the late 60's became a small department store. During the Restaurant renovation in 1991, many original features of the building were restored and the outside was cleaned. This building continues to serve the community well.
